How does ZSB ensure product quality?
ZSB manufactures exclusively in accordance with internationally recognised quality standards (ISO 9001:2015, ISO 22716, ISO 13485, EC Organic Regulation), guaranteeing a high level of safety and quality.

How sustainable is contract filling at ZSB?
Around 60% of the electricity we use is generated by our own photovoltaic systems, with the remainder covered by certified green electricity. Since switching to a modern heat pump in 2024, we have significantly reduced our natural gas consumption. Our lighting is entirely LED, and we separate all waste materials rigorously so that as much as possible can be recycled. On request, we can advise you on choosing sustainable packaging solutions.
Prices
How is pricing determined?
Our prices depend on volume, packaging type, the detailed work steps involved, and any additional services required. We are happy to prepare an individual quotation based on your specific requirements.
What additional costs may arise?
Additional costs may apply for special packaging, express delivery, extra quality testing, labelling, or longer storage periods. All costs are set out transparently in the quotation – there are no hidden fees.
Do you offer sample production?
Yes, we offer sample production runs in small batches for stability or compatibility testing. We are also happy to recommend suitable laboratories for further analysis.
Partnerships
What support does ZSB provide beyond filling?
In addition to contract filling, we also help with individual upstream and downstream process steps where needed. This includes, for example, sourcing suitable packaging components and coordinating with external manufacturing partners. For analytics or microbiological testing, we have competent, long-standing partners. Our main focus remains clearly on contract filling under controlled and certified conditions.
Do you also handle logistics?
ZSB takes care of the proper storage and management of customer goods. The entire inventory is recorded in a database, and every production run includes precise, item-level accounting of the materials used.
How does ZSB manage storage and inventory?
The entire inventory is managed via a database. Each order is billed and documented on a per-unit basis. On request, we can provide reliable stock figures immediately.
