Ziebart History


History

Ziebart History Ziebart International Corporation was founded in 1959 based on an innovative process developed by Kurt Ziebart to prevent automobiles from rusting. He opened his first location in Detroit. The company quickly began expanding into neighboring Midwest cities. In 1963, the first international location was opened in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Since that time, Ziebart has grown into a worldwide network of approximately 400 locations in 29 countries.

Ziebart is the world’s leading name in automotive services that renew, protect, preserve and enhance the appearance of cars and trucks. Since 1959, Ziebart has developed its own renowned products and technology to keep up with the growing needs of automotive enthusiasts and general motorists.

Over the decades Ziebart has continued to expand its product offering to meet the ever-changing market conditions. Once only known for just rust protection, Ziebart now offers a full line of appearance and protection services for both the interior and exterior of vehicles, sprayed-on-bedliners, automotive glass repair; window tint; truck accessories, electronic systems, scratch repair services and of course, rust protection.

In 1994, Ziebart International Corporation was bought by its employees through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This program has fostered personal commitment, dedication and long-term devotion to building the business.

For the past 15 years, Entrepreneur has named Ziebart International Corp. to its Top 500 Franchisors List. Success magazine ranked it among its Franchise Gold 100 for four years. The company has also been listed on Income Opportunities Platinum 200 list and Crain Communications' Franchise Times magazine's inaugural Top 200 list.

Today, Ziebart is the worldwide leader in appearance and protection services providing total car care solutions to our customers.
