Ziebart is the world's leading name in automotive services that renew, protect and preserve cars and trucks. Over 40 years, Ziebart has developed its own renowned products and technology to protect vehicles against such damaging elements as dirt, pollution, heat, ultraviolet rays and rust. And today Ziebart is the world's largest installer of automotive accessories, including window tint, sunroofs, alarms, hitches, running boards, bed liners and other components to protect and enhance vehicles.


In the past two years, Ziebart has taken its diversification efforts a step further by co-branding with Speedy Auto Glass and Rhino Linings USA. By co-branding, Ziebart offers auto glass services by Speedy Auto Glass and spray-on liners by Rhino Linings in select locations. So far, Speedy Auto Glass is available in 86 Ziebart locations and we have over a 100 locations in the polyurethane spray on liner business with the majority of them authorized as Rhino Linings distributors.

Sometimes diversification requires more than just expanding your offering of products and services. Ziebart has realized that to be truly successful in the retail market you have to have the right image. To create the right image, we hired a consulting company to remodel our stores inside and out. As a result, locations that have implemented the new look are experiencing substantial increases in retail sales.

With just under 500 locations in 44 countries around the globe, Ziebart International is also one of the world's most successful and most readily recognized franchisors. The Ziebart brand name enjoys one of the highest awareness levels of any trademark and is the acknowledged market leader in automotive aftermarket protection products. National research confirms the Ziebart name is noted for high-quality products, a high standard of customer service, and for standing by its word.

Ziebart International was founded on the research of an innovative master mechanic from Germany, Kurt Ziebart, who was the first person to address corrosion problems of the automobile in a scientific manner. Kurt Ziebart developed a process to stop corrosion, and in 1959 he opened the first Ziebart store in Detroit, introducing his rust-prevention method to the auto industry.

Exceptional demand led to expansion of the company into neighboring Midwestern markets. In 1962, Ziebart opened its first international location in Windsor, Ontario, across the Canadian border from Detroit. By 1969 Ziebart had expanded into Japan; and during the 1970s it opened locations in the Philippines, Australia, Indonesia and the Middle East. Long regarded by consumers as "someone you can trust," Ziebart International is an employee-owned company. For the prospective franchisee, this means that dedicated employees form a support team whose members personally care about the success of every franchise store.

Throughout its period of expansion, Ziebart has committed itself to be the customer's number one choice for auto protection services and accessories and to maintain its global leadership in meeting the needs of the automotive aftermarket. Its franchise stores serve customers around the world. Please note: This web site is not a franchise offering, nor is it directed to any person in any state.
