Zama Group is a family-held German-owned company and a manufacturer of diaphragm carburetors, oil pumps and further mechanical precision engine components.
Zama supplies mainly to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of gasoline-powered outdoor tools,[6] such as Stihl, Husqvarna or Yamabiko.
In March 1989, Zama Industries was founded in Hong Kong to reduce the negative impact on revenue caused by a sudden change of the currency exchange rate of JPY and USD.
Another facility was opened in November 1990 in Franklin, Tennessee, USA to expand the US operations in engineering and to establish a Zama aftermarket department.
By the end of 1991, a factory with 450 employees was opened in the Special Economic Zone of XiLi, Shenzhen, China and major parts of the Hong Kong facilities were moved there.
Approximately 1,600 associates produce electronic fuel injection systems, carburetors, oil pumps, solenoid-valves and other parts for the outdoor industry.
Zama Japan is the center of Research and Development,[13] design of in-house production tooling, as well as support for Japanese domestic customers.
