history
The company was founded in 1904 as a construction business by Adam Zapf. It was rebuilt after the Second World War . In 1961 the first prefabricated garage was presented at the Upper Franconian Exhibition in Bayreuth. In 1963 the groundbreaking ceremony for the precast plant in Weidenberg took place. In 1983 a branch was built in Baar-Ebenhausen. Here paving stones and prefabricated garages produced. In 1987, Zapf took over the Kochbau-Seemann company in Freiburg. In 1988 Adam Zapf died. In 1998 the apprentice practice company Zapf-Young was founded. The paving stone production in Ebenhausen was taken over by the Ehl company in 2000. Ehl & Zapf was founded for paving stone production in Bayreuth. In 2003 the concept construction division became a subsidiary of KonzeptBauZapf GmbH. Zapf sold its shares in Ehl & Zapf. In 2004 Zapf celebrated its 100th birthday. Zapf now has seven business areas. In the same year, the company with its training company Zapf-Young was named Germany's "Super Training Team". In 2007, ZAPF took over the garage manufacturer KESTING from Herne in North Rhine-Westphalia. In 2010, Zapf acquired the garage production from Classic-Garagen GmbH from Neuchâtel / Breisgau. At the end of 2011, Zapf took over the garage production of the Estelit company from Dülmen, thereby expanding its production facilities to two in North Rhine-Westphalia. Due to the declining construction business, major losses arose in 2015, which led to the discontinuation of business areas (construction, building materials trade, structural precast elements) and thus to a reduction in the number of employees.
Corporate structure
In 1999 Werner Zapf sold all of his shares in Zapf GmbH to Deutsche Beteiligungs AG (Frankfurt) and SchmidtBank KGaA. In April 2006, the previous owners sold 50 percent of the shares to the French property development group Les Nouveaux Constructeurs SA (LNC, Paris). The other half of the shares were taken over by the financial investors Goldman Sachs , Deutsche Bank AG (London) and Lone Star . In April 2009, LNC took over the 25 percent share of the interim financial investor ELQ, thereby increasing its share in Zapf to 75 percent. The remaining shares remained with Deutsche Bank. Finally, in November 2010, LNC acquired 18.1 percent of the Zapf shares from Deutsche Bank and thus owns a total of 94 percent, while Deutsche Bank only retained the remaining six percent. A year later, the Deutsche Bank share was taken over by Jörg Maschmann.
Netzaberg
The Grafenwoehr Training Area is the largest base of the US armed forces outside of America and has been expanded further. As part of this decision, the Netzaberg Housing Area on Netzaberg (City of Eschenbach in the Upper Palatinate ) was built by ZAPF by the end of 2008 . With 832 houses and the associated garages and outdoor facilities, Netzaberg was one of the largest residential projects in Germany and at the same time the largest project in the company's history. Around 200 employees were hired on a temporary basis for this project.
logistics
The company has its own shipping company. In addition to low loaders for transporting prefabricated parts and tipper vehicles for transporting raw materials, there are also a number of special vehicles for transporting and moving prefabricated garages. The Weidenberg plant has its own connection , which was reactivated in 2009, to the Bayreuth – Weidenberg railway line , via which garage deliveries are made for distances of more than 400 kilometers. In July 2011, prefabricated garages were also delivered to Austria by water from the port of Bamberg for the first time.
