J. Zimmer Maschinenbau GmbH, which markets itself as ZIMMER AUSTRIA, is an Austrian machinery manufacturer specialising in printing, coating and finishing systems for textiles, carpets and technical materials. The company operates from two Austrian sites: its Digital Printing Systems business in Kufstein and its Screen Printing & Coating Systems business in Klagenfurt. From these locations it develops, plans, produces and services complete printing lines, combining a high degree of vertical integration with in-house research and development. The product portfolio spans digital printing systems built around the CHROMOJET and COLARIS technologies, screen printing and coating machines, rotary and flatbed printing systems, carpet back-coating equipment and heat-treatment solutions. These machines are used for home textiles, technical textiles, nonwovens, glass fibre, paper, foil, wall coverings and high-traffic flooring such as carpets. ZIMMER AUSTRIA positions itself as a full-service partner, offering installation, operator training, spare parts, maintenance, repairs, hardware and software support, and process development through technology centres in Austria. The company presents itself as a long-established player, stating that it has more than 150 years in business, over 5,100 machines installed globally and more than 2,690 customers. It is owned through the Johannes Zimmer Privatstiftung, with Johannes Zimmer Beteiligungs- und Verwaltungs GmbH acting as the holding company above the two operative businesses. The brand is active internationally, exhibiting at trade fairs such as IGATEX Pakistan and ITME India, and serving customers worldwide with tailor-made printing and coating solutions.

J. Zimmer Maschinenbau GmbH traces its heritage to a business founded by Johannes Zimmer and today presents itself as having more than 150 years of experience in machinery manufacturing. Over that period the company developed from a traditional engineering workshop into a specialist supplier of printing, coating and finishing equipment for the textile and carpet industry. The modern company is organised under the Johannes Zimmer Privatstiftung, a private foundation that forms the ownership apex. Beneath the foundation sits the holding company Johannes Zimmer Beteiligungs- und Verwaltungs GmbH, which in turn controls the operative companies. The two principal operating units are both named J. Zimmer Maschinenbau Gesellschaft m.b.H.: the Digital Printing Systems business based in Kufstein and the Screen Printing & Coating Systems business based in Klagenfurt. The Kufstein site focuses on digital printing systems, where the company develops and produces CHROMOJET and COLARIS technologies for textiles and carpets. The Klagenfurt site specialises in screen printing, coating machines and heat treatment solutions, serving industries such as home textiles, technical textiles and wall coverings. Both sites maintain technology centres that provide product development, process support and sampling services to customers. ZIMMER AUSTRIA describes itself as a global leader in machinery manufacturing and installation, with more than 5,100 machines installed worldwide and more than 2,690 customers. Its equipment is used for textiles, nonwovens, glass fibre, paper, foil, wall coverings and carpets. The company continues to exhibit at international trade fairs, including IGATEX Pakistan 2026 and ITME India 2026, and supports customers throughout the full lifecycle of their machinery with installation, training, spare parts, maintenance, repairs and technical support.
