AZO Group Creates New Company: Global Product Center

AZO Group announced that AZO Global Product Center GmbH & Co. KG is operational as a new company of the AZO Group since January 01, 2023. “A consistently future-proof setup – that is our goal,” said Rainer Zimmermann, CEO and owner of the family company AZO. AZO Group is a specialist in automation solutions. 

The company has been in a process of reorganization to become more agile to deal with various crises. The first step in this direction has been taken with the establishment of the AZO Global Product Center. The new company is where the products that AZO sells worldwide are created – from the first draft to the detailed customer-specific adaptation design and production to documentation. This way, AZO focuses on entrepreneurial responsibility and market orientation. AZO’s solutions are in demand in more than 60 industries: from baby food to battery production to the recycling of plastics – the specific know-how of the raw material experts is the great asset. The newly established AZO Global Product Center has around 240 employees. 

AZO Global Product Center GmbH & Co. KG is led by Hartmut Eckert, born in 1967 – a manager who grew within AZO. After his education and numerous further training courses as a technical business economist, business economist and REFA engineer, he became a member of the Executive Board in 2018.
