“We are excited to welcome the Zeman Bauelemente team to Lincoln Electric and integrate their unique offering into our industry-leading automation portfolio,” said Christopher L. Mapes, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The combination of the SBA and our PythonX® solutions offers structural steel fabricators the advantage of greater productivity and capacity to meet the growing demand from structural steel and infrastructure projects.”
The Beginning
In 1965 Mr. Hans Zeman and his Partners founded a company to produce structural steel buildings. Their first projects were completed under a fly roof or in the open air, before the first production hall was erected in Scheifling, a village in the foothills of the Alps. Early on, Zeman was developing and adapting rollforming machines for trapezoidal sheets production and quickly became the market leader in Central Europe. These are the roots of the Zeman Machines company.
Today
Lincoln Electric Automation has manufacturing facilities around the world delivering automation solutions for a range of applications. The Zeman line of products is an important part of the portfolio, offering an impressive line of options to assist with automation capabilities for a variety of manufacturing needs.
