About us

Here you can reach the car body and vehicle construction industry

With a circulation of 6,500 copies, the official organ of the Central Association of Body and Vehicle Technology (ZKF) is aimed at managers and decision-makers from body and paint stores and vehicle construction companies. At the same time, the training section published online helps junior staff to understand and learn important training content.

Current topics from the fields of bodywork, paintwork, vehicle construction, taxes, law, business management and association events are sent to our subscribers in the newsletter. At the Würzburg Bodywork and Damage Days and the KFZ-Sachverständigen Forum , people meet to exchange ideas and receive guidance for their daily work.
F+K is an information hub and forum for the car body and vehicle construction industry.
