Management

Horst Fischer, Managing Director of ZMS GmbH

Horst Fischer

Managing Director

Horst Fischer studied communications engineering in Kassel. For twelve years he developed test equipment for in-car entertainment at Bosch Blaupunkt in Hildesheim and in Braga, Portugal. He then held roles including Head of Industrial Engineering at Airbus in Ulm and Head of Test Equipment Development at TQ Systems. Later came positions as Director of Operations at an automotive tier 1 supplier and at a manufacturer of industrial test and measurement equipment. For Whitehorse Laboratories he built up the EU branch, offering testing and analysis services. In recent years he set up the Q-LAB test laboratory at Components at Service. Alongside that, he looked for ways to replace obsolete components for customers. One of those enquiries led to the idea of founding ZMS GmbH.

Quality & Sustainability

Quality management

Reliable electronics is the basis of our work. Our customers can rely on redesigned assemblies working without fault across the entire life cycle. That is why we test and document every step, from analysis to series production.

Our quality management is certified to ISO 9001. That confirms clearly defined, verifiable processes, which we improve continuously. For you it means traceable results and consistent quality in every project.

Sustainability

Sustainability is part of our business model. We extend the service life of existing systems instead of replacing them completely. That saves resources, reduces electronic waste and avoids premature full modernisation.

Our environmental management is certified to ISO 14001. We assess environmental impact systematically and reduce it step by step.

Certificates

We are not stopping there. Preparation for IATF 16949 certification has already begun.
