Prof. Dr. Boris Zimmermann

The Zimmermann Group has had its roots in logistics for more than 350 years. The ancestors of today's company family started out as carters in the Sudetenland. After expulsion and flight, his grandfather Georg Zimmermann founded a haulage company in Bad Windsheim, which developed very successfully and opened up further business areas over the years. In the third generation, Dr. Boris Zimmermann took over the management of the group from his father Alois Zimmermann and continued to expand it. In 2012, Dr. Boris Zimmermann fulfilled his long-cherished wish, retired from active management and took up a professorship in general business administration, in particular logistics and business informatics, at Fulda University of Applied Sciences, where he has been introducing young students to business management and logistics processes in a practical way ever since.
