About us
Zorn Sondermaschinen is a sole proprietorship founded in 2011 and based in Tangstedt (Schleswig-Holstein). In collaboration with the customers, we develop, design and manufacture machinery and operating equipment for nurseries as well as for landscaping and gardening. The portfolio includes open-field machines for sowing and crop maintenance (including Combimixer, seedbed planner, rollers, seeders, sprayers, hoes), equipment for landscaping and gardening (deep chisel, cultivator, grass harrow, cable plough) as well as operating facilities such as work tables, dipping tanks, forklift adapters, implement mounts, peat hoppers and drip irrigation. Steel structures are manufactured hot-dip galvanized according to DIN EN 1090; in addition, stainless steel, film-faced plywood panels and plastics are used. The value creation from design through manufacturing to assembly takes place in the company's own business premises at Große Twiete 20 in Tangstedt.
