AZO Incorporated was formed as a partnership in 1978 between the Moore family in Memphis, Tennessee and the Zimmermann family in Osterburken, Germany. This partnership was formed to be closer to our North American customers. As the first of the AZO Partner companies, AZO Inc. set the standard for further AZO global expansion. Today, AZO Inc. is wholly owned by AZO GmbH and is part of the worldwide AZO Group.

AZO is an acronym for the owner's name, Adolf Zimmermann, and the town of Osterburken, Germany. In 1949, Mr. Zimmermann invented and began to produce the AZO "Cyclone Screener," a horizontal, centrifugal machine for sifting flour. As the years progressed, AZO moved into material, or ingredient, handling systems including pneumatic conveying and automated weigh batching systems. Today, AZO is the world’s largest provider of ingredient automation and management systems. Globally, AZO boasts annual sales of approximately $150 million with over 700 employees. The primary markets served are the food, pharmaceutical, plastics and chemical industries.
