ZIGPOS GmbH

Starting as a spin-off from professors and graduates of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Dresden University of Applied Sciences (HTW), the company exceeded the double-digit number of employees and acquired its first major international customer. ZIGPOS was founded in 2011 with the partners Erik Mademann and Christoph Götze, who are still active in the management to this day. The company has grown steadily since the beginning. In 2013, the first order was placed abroad, and many more followed. Business trips to all parts of the world became daily business and more and more colleagues joined the team. At the end of 2017, the company moved to its current offices on Räcknitzhöhe. The acquisition of a 50.1% stake in the company by Trumpf in 2019 and 2021 was a milestone. Customers from all over the world now rely on ZIGPOS technology. The engineering team conducts research with international partners in EU projects. From building automation to autonomous driving, high-precision position and sensor data is generated for smart objects in the IoT world.
