With approximately 5,800 employees at 17 production sites and over 100 sales locations worldwide, ZIEHL-ABEGG ranks among the technology and innovation leaders in its industry.<br>In recent years, ZIEHL-ABEGG has experienced exceptional growth: new plants in the U.S., Vietnam, and Poland, greenfield projects going live, and, in parallel, the challenge of maintaining quality processes at the same level globally. The central challenge here was not the expansion itself, but harmonization: processes that are similar across different plants needed to be formulated as a corporate standard and rolled out across all locations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-text-align-left has-background\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;border-top-left-radius:12px;border-top-right-radius:12px;border-bottom-left-radius:12px;border-bottom-right-radius:12px;background-color:#f7f7f7;font-size:15px\"><blockquote><p><strong>Project Overview<\/strong><br><br><strong>Client: ZIEHL-ABEGG SE <\/strong><br>Industry: Air, drive, and control technology<br>Headquarters: K\u00fcnzelsau, Germany<br><br><strong>Key Facts: <\/strong> <br> 8 months to go-live<br>Locations on 3 continents<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why JAWA and inforum?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It was clear to ZIEHL-ABEGG that what was needed was not a standalone software solution, but rather a platform that maps processes, supports employees, and fully complies with regulatory requirements.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision to adopt the inforum management platform was made because it does exactly that: it provides customized quality management software that adapts to existing business processes and is flexible enough to meet future requirements as well. For ZIEHL-ABEGG, this specifically meant the ability to digitize and standardize quality management processes across the entire group without having to sacrifice individual workflows. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implementation and Results<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Within eight months, the core quality processes were fully defined and mapped in inforum, ranging from advance quality planning to process and product approvals and ongoing production quality. The result: ZIEHL-ABEGG now has full transparency regarding where potential lies and where there is a need for optimization, and can identify and implement both significantly faster than before.<br>The partnership with JAWA goes beyond implementation. Regular communication, structured coordination, and quick response times ensure that adjustments can be implemented rapidly.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.inforum.at\/media.html\" style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9a8de537 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-radius:12px;background-color:#f7f7f7;padding-top:32px;padding-right:32px;padding-bottom:32px;padding-left:32px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customer perspective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"41\" src=\"https:\/\/jawa.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/logo-ziehl-abegg_ref.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4235\" style=\"width:198px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jawa.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/logo-ziehl-abegg_ref.png 200w, https:\/\/jawa.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/logo-ziehl-abegg_ref-768x157.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Within eight months, we worked with inforum to fully define our core processes.
