Embroidery Machines Made in Germany
Our Quality Promise for Your Future
For generations, Made in Germany has stood for quality, reliability and innovation – values we live by at ZSK every day. In Krefeld and Remscheid, we develop and manufacture high-performance embroidery machines for industrial applications, technical textiles and creative challenges around the globe.
Rooted in Tradition. Driven by the Future.
Our origins go back more than a century – but our focus is firmly on the future. With a team of highly trained professionals, modern production technologies and a strong network of regional suppliers, we deliver products that meet the highest demands.
Locally Manufactured. Globally in Use.
More than 80% of all components come from regional suppliers within 100 km of our production sites. This makes us highly flexible, independent and sustainable. Short supply chains allow us to respond quickly to customer requirements – even with delivery times others consider impossible.
Excellence Requires Expertise – Training at ZSK
To meet our high quality standards over the long term, we invest in our own future professionals. As a dedicated training company, we’ve been developing the next generation of experts for years – hands-on, forward-looking and with real-world experience.
Two Locations. One System.
Our embroidery machines are built at two production sites:
- Krefeld: Tubular and technical embroidery machines, sales, service, training, software development and R&D
- Remscheid: Flatbed embroidery machines
The close collaboration between both sites ensures holistic product development – from the initial concept to the finished system.
Sustainable Production at ZSK
We take responsibility – for quality and for the environment. Our production facilities are powered largely by solar energy. We’ve equipped all locations with LED lighting, invested in energy-efficient heating and continuously optimise our processes to reduce our CO₂ footprint.
ZSK – Engineering the Embroidery Technology of Tomorrow
Made in Germany is more than a label for us. It’s a daily commitment. And a promise to you: today, tomorrow, and across the world.

Our Locations – Made in Germany, rooted in NRW
ZSK Headquarters – Krefeld
ZSK’s headquarters is located in Krefeld – a historic textile city near Düsseldorf. Even before ZSK Stickmaschinen GmbH was founded in 1983, this site was home to the former Zangs AG – a place of tradition and innovation.
In Krefeld, we develop and assemble tubular and technical embroidery machines. The site also hosts our sales, software development, service, training and R&D departments.
Remscheid Site
Our flatbed embroidery machines are produced in Remscheid – another strong location in North Rhine-Westphalia. Together, both sites represent engineering depth, regional strength and reliable quality – Made in Germany.

Production with Responsibility
Quality, efficiency and sustainability in harmony.
As part of a medium-sized industrial group, ZSK benefits from close cooperation with affiliated companies. Many key components – such as machine frames and electronics – are developed and manufactured within the group. This ensures maximum control, flexibility and consistent quality.
We also place great emphasis on sustainability: our production in Krefeld is largely powered by solar energy. All ZSK sites have been equipped with energy-saving LED lighting, and in 2020 we invested in a modern heating system to significantly reduce our CO₂ footprint.
At ZSK, production means more than manufacturing – it’s a commitment to responsibility in every dimension.
