How is ZF structured?
The ZF Group is a decentralized company. Its divisions and business units operate independently and flexibly on the market; they are managed strategically and financially by the Group. The Group is divided into five product-related divisions: Car Driveline Technology in Saarbrücken, Car Chassis Technology in Lemförde, Commercial Vehicle and Special Driveline Technology in Friedrichshafen, Off-Road Driveline Technology and Axle Systems in Passau, as well as Powertrain and Suspension Components in Schweinfurt. In addition, there are independent business units: Aviation Technology, Marine Propulsion Systems, Rubber-Metal Technology, Electronic Components and ZF Services. In 1999, ZF Friedrichshafen AG and Robert Bosch GmbH founded the joint venture ZF Lenksysteme GmbH.
