Silo production has a long tradition at Zeppelin. Already at the time of airship construction, at the beginning of the 20th century, aluminum containers were welded.

This special knowledge became the driving force behind Zeppelin’s reorientation after World War II. Already in 1950 the first standard aluminum silo was made. Further innovations such as the development of telescopic silos in the 1970s or the technology of simple assembly of silos with a capacity of even more than 500 m³, ensured the further development of silo technology at Zeppelin.
