Zeppelin Rental completes Luther integration

German rental group Zeppelin has completed the integration of the Luther Group, consisting of Luther HL and Meton, into its rental strategic business unit.

The completion of the acquisition of Luther HL broadens Zeppelin Group’s traffic safety offering.

The acquisition, initiated in 2019, entails the inclusion and rebranding of Luther HL services under the Zeppelin Rental banner.

These services include planning and execution services in traffic safety and traffic telematics as well as rental protection walls from Meton.

As part of the acquisition, Zeppelin will transfer 100 employees to its rental strategic business unit, which the company says will strengthen its expertise in traffic guidance and transport technology.

Peter Schrader, Managing Director and COO of Zeppelin Rental said, “By bundling our services, we have now created important operational synergies, established the organisational structures for joint market cultivation and further strengthened our market position.

“I look forward to working together to drive forward the further successful development and to decisively shape the future of mobile traffic safety and control with innovative traffic telematics solutions.”
