Zephyr Polska Sp Z O O

What Zephyr Polska Sp Z O O does

Zeppelin Polska Sp. z o.o. is a Polish industrial-equipment distributor and authorized service provider operating as a subsidiary of the German Zeppelin Group. The company was founded in 1998 and has been active for more than 25 years, running six branch offices across Poland with a mobile service network that covers sales, rental, service, parts, and fleet outsourcing. Its portfolio spans forklifts, construction machinery, warehousing equipment, and heavy-transport vehicles, distributed and serviced under brand agreements with Hyster, Clark, Noblelift, SOCMA, Manitou, Grove, Meclift, TII KAMAG, and TII SCHEUERLE.

The core technology handled by the company is mechanical and electric industrial equipment — counterbalance and warehouse forklifts, telehandlers, aerial work platforms, port and heavy-transport tractors, and modular trailers — together with the electrified powertrains now entering the KAMAG precision-mover line. Underlying service capability includes authorized warranty and post-warranty service, fleet outsourcing, UDT-regulated inspections, parts distribution, and operator training. The company maintains an ISO 50001:2018-certified energy management system and operates an e-commerce channel at sklep.zeppelin.pl for parts and accessories.

The business model is multi-revenue-stream: new-equipment sales financed through OEM partnerships, used-equipment sales, short- and long-term rental, service and maintenance contracts, parts distribution, and fleet outsourcing. Customers are enterprise and mid-market B2B operators across logistics, food and pharma, mining, construction, wood, and ports. Named customers include Ceramika Paradyż (a 34-unit Hyster forklift deployment) and LEW-TRANS (a first TII SCHEUERLE heavy-transport customer in Poland), but the broader customer base spans multiple verticals, providing some diversification within a fundamentally B2B equipment-distribution model.
