Zimmermann is a German piano maker and brand name. The company founder worked for Steinway in New York before starting his own factory in Leipzig, Germany in 1884.
As business grew, the Zimmermann company expanded to a second factory in 1904. By 1912 over 10,000 pianos were being built a year making it one of the Europe’s largest piano manufacturer. Later, it became a global piano exporter within over 400,000 instruments sold world-wide.
In 1991, C. Bechstein took over the company and incorporated it with the Bechstein-Gruppe. Modern Zimmerman pianos are mass-produced in Saxony, where the Bechstein company has regrouped its production facilities.
