ZF Friedrichshafen AG
 PROFILE
ZF Friedrichshafen (ZF) shifts easily from land to air to sea. The company makes automatic and manual transmissions for commercial vehicles, cars, aircraft, and marine vessels. ZF also makes industrial drives such as servo gearboxes, as well as rail transmissions. Its off-road division makes transmissions for construction equipment and farm machinery. ZF's chassis unit makes automotive rear-axle systems and suspension modules. Through ZF Lenksysteme (a joint venture with Robert Bosch), ZF makes steering systems. The firm was founded in 1915 by Ferdinand von Zeppelin (the Zeppelin inventor). The Zeppelin Stiftung foundation, which is largely controlled by the town of Friedrichshafen, owns the company.
