ZKW and the pathway to a vision
ZKW shapes the look and character of motor vehicles worldwide.
At second glance, it becomes clear that ZKW is shaping the automotive industry with its headlights.
With its own inventions and innovations, ZKW makes motor vehicles more desirable, more individual, safer and more energy-efficient.
What presents the company with new challenges is the fast-moving and rapidly changing automotive industry: electric cars, Industry 4.0 and the associated autonomous driving.
Headlights must become even safer and more efficient and also function perfectly on the road without the driver’s control. Mobility no longer just means driving a car, mobility also means letting the car drive.
ZKW continues to attach great importance to the safety aspect of light in road traffic within its product developments. Added to this is the company’s international orientation. ZKW has transformed itself from a traditional headlamp manufacturer from Austria to a global player for lighting concepts with ten locations from Mexico to China.

What the ZKW Group has in common with nocturnal animals – Nocturnal animals can get by even with very little light. People, on the other hand, need modern lighting systems to move securely through the darkness. Sounds like a job for ZKW.

Cooperation at ten locations
Global player from Austria: ZKW relies 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 eight countries.
