ZIM Aircraft Seating introduces new company name, new corporate design and new logo

The former “ZIM Flugsitz GmbH” now has the new company name “ZIM Aircraft Seating GmbH” and a new branding. The name change is an integral part of the company's realignment. On the one hand, we are creating a distance from insolvency proceedings, but at the same time building on historic successes and taking account of the fact that “ZIM” has become an international player in the development, manufacture and maintenance of aircraft seats, says Managing Director Heiko Fricke.

Associated with the name change is a new design, which is most clearly recognizable by the new company logo.

This now appears in royal blue and is intended to convey safety, reliability and peace and is reminiscent of the sky in which the “ZIM” aircraft seats are used.
