The Worldwide Leader in Automotive Appearance and Protection Services

Founded On Rust ProtectionBased on an innovative process developed by Kurt Ziebart to prevent automobiles from rusting, Ziebart International Corporation was founded in 1959. At that time, Kurt Ziebart opened his fi rst location in Detroit, Michigan. Th e company quickly began expanding into neighboring cities in the Midwestern United States. In 1963, the fi rst international location was opened in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

We Didn’t Rest With RustOver the decades, Ziebart has continued to expand its product off ering, as well as develop products and technology to meet the ever-changing market conditions and growing needs of motorists. Once only known for rust protection, Ziebart now off ers an array of proprietary product and service off erings, therefore setting us apart from any automotive franchise out there. We’ve developed our own products and application processes and have a product team dedicated to innovation. Diversifying our off erings based on consumer demand allows us to off er a wide selection of profi t drivers to our franchise owners. We are the all-in-one stop for automotive aftermarket products and services.

Ziebart’s global franchise network has grown to approximately 400 licensed locations in 30 countries with over 800 processing centers worldwide.
