ZinCo GmbH

ZinCo GmbH

ZinCo GmbH, headquartered in Nürtingen, is an established manufacturer in the field of green roof systems and structural roof components. The company develops and produces innovative system solutions for green roofs, retention roofs, and green roofing systems of varying intensity for commercial and municipal construction projects.

Services & Product Range

As a manufacturer of system solutions for green roofing and roof construction, ZinCo GmbH focuses on a specialized product portfolio. The product range includes drainage elements, filter fleece, vegetation mats, and substrate layers, which have been developed as coordinated system components for different green roofing requirements. In addition to extensive green roof systems for lightweight, low-maintenance roof planting, the company offers intensive green roof systems that enable horticultural use of roof areas. Complementing this, retention systems are part of the offering, which control rainwater storage and help relieve sewage systems. The technical components also include protective fleece, root barrier protection, and water elements for roof ponds. As an OEM manufacturer, ZinCo produces the system components in its own manufacturing facility and supplies them through building material distributors as well as directly to specialist contractors in the roofing trade, landscape gardening, and construction companies. The product range is complemented by technical planning support and project consulting to meet project-specific requirements for structural design, water retention, and planting.

Location Nürtingen & Region

Nürtingen is located in the district of Esslingen in Baden-Württemberg, approximately 30 kilometers southeast of Stuttgart. The favorable location with connections to the federal highway B313 and proximity to the A8 motorway enables efficient logistics for the distribution of building materials and system components throughout the Stuttgart region and beyond. The Baden-Württemberg region is one of the most construction-intensive economic areas in Germany, with high demand for innovative building solutions in the commercial and municipal sectors. In particular, the increasing importance of ecological building methods and legal requirements for rainwater management in urban areas create demand for green roof systems. Typical customers in the region are roofing contractors, landscape gardening companies specializing in green roofing, and construction companies realizing commercial new builds and renovation projects. Municipal construction projects in Stuttgart, Esslingen, and surrounding communities increasingly rely on green roofs to improve urban climate. The regional presence in Nürtingen supports short delivery routes and direct exchange with planning architects and executing specialist contractors.

Company Profile

ZinCo GmbH has established itself as a specialized manufacturer in the green roof systems segment. As a manufacturing company with a focus on technical system components for roof construction, the company combines development, production, and distribution under one roof. Specialization in green roof systems sets ZinCo apart from traditional building material manufacturers and positions the company in a growing market segment between ecological building and technical building systems. Product development is oriented toward the technical requirements of modern architecture, rainwater management regulations, and increasing demands for sustainable building practices. Market position is based on system competency: By coordinating all components from the root barrier film to the vegetation layer, planners and contractors can rely on a comprehensively tested system. This system-oriented approach requires close collaboration with specialist planners, structural engineers, and roofing associations. The development of custom solutions for complex roof geometries or extreme load requirements is part of the manufacturer's service range.

Cooperation & Service

Cooperation with ZinCo GmbH is primarily directed toward commercial customers in the construction sector. Roofing contractors, specialist companies for green roofing, and landscape gardening companies procure the system components for specific construction projects. Typically, cooperation begins in the planning phase, when architects or specialist planners define the technical requirements for a green roof. ZinCo provides technical consulting and planning assistance to select the appropriate system and clarify structural and building physics requirements. Following product selection, the system components are delivered to the construction site or to the executing specialist contractor. For larger construction projects, project-related delivery quantities are coordinated and aligned with construction scheduling. Construction companies acting as general contractors also work with the manufacturer to integrate green roofing in commercial buildings, residential developments, or municipal facilities. Technical documentation and processing guidelines support proper installation of the systems. For inquiries during construction, technical consulting is available to ensure code-compliant execution and to secure warranty claims.
