ZEL

Zanussi Elettromeccanica Tianjin Compressor Co., Ltd. (ZEL) is a leading manufacturer of hermetic compressors based in Tianjin, China. Founded in the 1960s, ZEL established itself as a pioneer in the production of refrigerant compressors for the domestic sector. In 1987, the company became a licensee of Zanussi Elettromeccanica of Italy and emerged in 1993 as the first globally operating joint venture in the domestic compressor sector. The strategic partnership with ACC gave ZEL access to advanced technologies and production facilities that are regarded as the benchmark for quality in the industry. In 2013, Beijing Zhenbang Aerospace Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. acquired a majority stake, leading to significant investment in quality improvements, capacity expansion and the introduction of new high-performance products.
