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.
