Since its foundation in 1971, Zülow AG, a family-owned company, has evolved from a one-man company to a highly specialised, 350-strong provider of complex electrical, data and communication technology and security solutions. The company has 24 apprentices. From its headquarters in Neuss, Zülow offers its services to its customers from a wide range of industries nationwide, usually using off the shelf products but also offering complex components. Zülow AG also patents individual solutions.
For almost 20 years, Zülow has been working in Germany as a trusted partner with UPS, a world-leading logistics company that offers comprehensive solutions for parcel and freight transport including international trade service offerings. In addition to supplying UPS with light switches, Zülow also maintains highly complex system controls. Miles of cables and fibre optic networks are installed and maintained by Zülow at UPS, including at the UPS European Air Hub in Cologne, North Rhine Westphalia. As the need for digital capabilities continues to grow for UPS customers and as UPS continues to facilitate increased international trade flows at its Cologne hub, UPS continues to rely on Zülow for its services. The products offered by Zülow indirectly support the international trade service offerings that UPS carries out for its Germany customers.
The long-standing cooperation with UPS has enabled Zülow to continue to grow its business and has opened doors for its industry. Zülow takes pride in providing continuity and high performance and seeks to deliver innovation and support for local and international supply chains. The family holds these attributes as the company’s fundamental values. The trusting relationship that Zülow holds with its employees as well as the entrepreneurial family spirit of the organisation are critical to ensure its long-term success. By working with UPS, German-based company Zülow indirectly contributes to the success of Germany’s international trade activities by providing solutions to UPS’s complex technology needs.

MC14: deep concern over e-commerce moratorium deadlock
The American Chamber of Commerce to the EU (AmCham EU) is deeply concerned by World Trade Organization members’ failure to reach agreement on the moratorium on E-Commerce at the 14th Ministerial Conference (MC14) in Cameroon. The absence of an agreement undermines legal certainty for businesses and consumers worldwide. This deadlock further underscores the need for significant WTO reform.
Since its introduction, the moratorium on customs duties on electronic transmissions has played a vital role in enabling the global digital economy by ensuring the smooth cross-border exchange of digital goods and services. In an increasingly digitalised global economy, predictability remains essential for companies of all sizes operating across borders.
WTO members must now renew efforts to re-instate the moratorium at the next General Council meeting as a matter of priority. Delivering such an outcome would strengthen the multilateral trading system and better reflect the realities of modern trade.

EU-US deal: European Parliament reaches position on tariff reductions
Today the European Parliament adopted its negotiating position on proposals to reduce tariffs on certain imports from the United States, in line with the July 2025 EU-US Framework Agreement. The Parliament’s vote clears the way for trilogues to finalise these proposals.
Reacting to the vote, Malte Lohan, CEO, AmCham EU, welcomed the Parliament’s decision as a necessary step towards a more predictable transatlantic marketplace: ‘The Parliament today has taken a decision that helps put the EU-US trade and investment relationship back on track. It is the right signal for businesses that have been stuck in limbo over the past year.’
‘AmCham EU opposes broad-based tariffs. However, given political priorities on both sides of the Atlantic, we still see the Framework Agreement as the most realistic route to securing a more constructive EU-US trade and investment climate’, Mr Lohan added. ‘We call on the Parliament and Member States to conclude trilogues swiftly. Once the tariff reductions are approved, the EU and the US can get back to advancing the cooperation the Framework Agreement envisages on a range of areas that benefit European and American businesses alike. We look to both sides to continue honouring their commitments throughout this process.’
