The Heuberg mountain welcomes to the south, the company headquarters in Spielberg is surrounded by meadows. This hamlet, a few kilometres south of Wasserburg am Inn, is where Zosseder is based. As is the case for many medium-sized enterprises, it also started out small. "My father originally came from a farm, but he left it when he was still a young man," says his son Simon Zosseder jr. "In 1967 he began as a haulier with two trucks. He transported bulk material, that is gravel, sand, limestone and artificial fertiliser. He made his first big step forward in 1967 when the Inn sluices were built. He served these building sites with one driver in two shifts, day and night. And in 1974 the first skip handler for container tipper bodies came. My father was therefore a pioneer in the container business in the Rosenheim administrative district."

Zosseder's quotations are not always the lowest priced. "You know," he explains, "there is always someone who is cheaper. The most important aspect is not the price. We supply good work, reliability and punctuality. When someone phones us at nine o'clock and needs a container at eleven o'clock, we can normally manage that. You can see," he indicates the reception next to the conference room, "an employee sits here even on Saturdays. She takes orders up to midday."

This is possible, because Zosseder directs his trucks with precision by using telematics, and because they have four thousand five hundred containers. From the 240 litre dustbin up to the 40 cubic metre container for old wood. And this is where MEILLER comes into play. "We have been working together with MEILLER for over forty years. Why? MEILLER is a reliable partner, it delivers spare parts quickly, our "philosophies" fit perfectly together. The rule here is also," this statement seems to be important to Simon Zosseder jr., "MEILLER doesn't supply the cheapest superstructures, but the best compared to others. This is why we have fitted MEILLER superstructures on three quarters of our trucks. They don't have the right product range for the rest".

For some years now, Simon Zosseder jr. has even further intensified cooperation with MEILLER when he fulfilled a childhood dream with the "truck centre". Because maintenance and repair of his trucks by third parties became too expensive in the long run, he decided to buy a large hall in Wasserburg four years ago. It now contains a workshop, paintshop and washing bay – for own trucks and trucks from other companies. Half of them now come from outside. "In the truck centre we also fit on the superstructures that we or other hauliers need. MEILLER delivers the superstructures as skeletons, they are unpainted, only the naked superstructure. You must think of it as being like a construction kit. There is the truck from a certain manufacturer, then comes the superstructure ordered from MEILLER, and we build them together in the truck centre. Precisely according to customer specifications. With us, for example, every vehicle in waste disposal has a calibrated weighing machine, and you can't buy that off the shelf. We now install it ourselves." For the sake of completeness only, it should be mentioned that Zosseder has also been maintaining one of the four Bavarian central stores for 40,000 tons of road salt in Wasserburg for two years. In the autumn the company fleet then distributes the salt throughout the region – of course with tipper trailers from MEILLER.

Simon Zosseder jr.'s creativity seems to be inexhaustible. Only the company motto "Der oane für ois" (the one for everything) was not invented by him, but by an employee. And it fits.
