Zieglmeier Petrol Stations

What Zieglmeier Petrol Stations does

Zieglmeier Petrol Stations, operating legally as ZIEGLMEIER Tankstellen GmbH, is a German Mittelstand provider of mobile tank rental, environmental protection technology, and liquid logistics founded in 1935 and headquartered in Schrobenhausen, Bavaria. The company's core offering is the rental of compliant mobile tank systems—diesel, heating oil, transformer oil, water, fire water, and process liquids—mounted on ADR-compliant double-walled trailers deployable without cranes or foundations, alongside tank containers, oil separators, sedimentation basins, and hazardous-material containers. Zieglmeier also sells new and used tanks, pumps, and dispensing equipment via the tankhandel.de e-commerce platform, delivers fresh and fire-fighting water via its own 25,000L/28,000L tank trucks, and operates a car wash center in Schrobenhausen launched in April 2024.

The technology stack is anchored in physical infrastructure rather than software: double-walled ADR tanks, AwSV-conform storage systems, WHG-compliant documentation, ATEX-certified mobile refueling stations, and HVO100 eFuel handling. Regulatory certifications (WHG, AwSV, ADR, DIN 14230/14244, STVI for Switzerland, TÜV SÜD Fachbetrieb) function as the gating credentials for serving enterprise buyers in construction, energy/utilities (e.g., transformer oil handling at Kraftwerk Kühtai II in Austria), critical infrastructure (data centers, railway projects with Deutsche Bahn), municipalities, and fire departments.

The revenue model blends recurring rental income (tank rental is a subscription/recurring stream), one-time sales through tankhandel.de, usage-based water delivery, and a hybrid car-wash revenue (subscription flatrate plus per-wash programs). Distribution is direct field sales via phone/email plus project inquiry forms, supported by a content-marketing ratgeber (advisory) section. Recent product launches—the Worker Tank 25 Mobil for data centers (June 2026), NEA emergency-power tanks aligned with KRITIS-Dachgesetz 2026 (March 2026), and HVO100 eFuels (April 2024)—indicate repositioning toward critical-infrastructure and decarbonization verticals.
