Global player from Austria: ZKW focuses on international networking
Around 12,000 kilometers. That’s how far it is from Silao in Mexico to Dalian in China. And yet the ZKW Group locations there are close to each other. This is because the lighting manufacturer relies on international networking and a close exchange between its twelve locations in seven countries. ZKW has thus developed into a global player from Austria.
The lighting manufacturer’s domestic beacons are located in Wieselburg and Wiener Neustadt, with international locations in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, China, the USA, Korea and Mexico.
In this way, ZKW is where the customer is. Because nothing less is the company’s vision: “pioneering premium lighting and electronics systems for all mobility concepts in the global automotive industry“.
International development network
Each location supports the others on a project-related basis. Regular strategy meetings and visits are held for this purpose. In addition, digital networking is used with the help of video conferences and the like. Communication and marketing concepts are used across all locations and best practice projects are exported.
Cultural differences are the spice of life
The ZKW Group sees cultural differences as the salt in the soup and promotes intercultural exchange with specific support programs. Chinese customs, Mexican characteristics, Austrian habits: The approximately 9700 employees receive comprehensive training for global cooperation.
This creates a global connection that supports the exchange of expertise. A global network with international growth opportunities – to provide the right light anywhere in the world.
