The company was established in Friedrichshafen, Germany, and initially focused on the production of engines for airships and zeppelins. In fact, Wilhelm Maybach had previously worked closely with Ferdinand von Zeppelin in the development of the first successful airships.

In addition to their work in the aviation industry,
the Maybachs also had a passion for automobiles. They recognized the potential for innovation and luxury in the burgeoning automobile industry and decided to venture into car manufacturing. The Maybach Company produced its first car, the Maybach W1, in 1919. This vehicle showcased the engineering prowess of Wilhelm and Karl Maybach, with its advanced features and attention to detail.

Throughout the 1920s and 1930s,
Maybach established itself as a prominent luxury car manufacturer. Their cars were renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship, powerful engines, and luxurious interiors. The Maybach brand quickly became synonymous with elegance and opulence, attracting wealthy and influential individuals from around the world.

One of the most iconic Maybach models
of that era was the Maybach Zeppelin. Introduced in 1928, the Zeppelin series represented the pinnacle of automotive excellence. These cars featured cutting-edge technology, superior performance, and unmatched comfort. Each Zeppelin was meticulously hand-built, incorporating the finest materials and craftsmanship available at the time. The Maybach Zeppelin solidified the brand's reputation as a leader in the luxury automobile market.

However, the onset of World War II
disrupted Maybach's operations. The company shifted its focus to producing engines for military vehicles and aircraft. Eventually, the war took a toll on the company, and production ceased in 1941.

After a long hiatus,
the Maybach brand was revived in the late 1990s by Daimler-Benz, the parent company of Mercedes-Benz. The new Maybach models, such as the Maybach 57 and Maybach 62, were introduced in the early 2000s. These vehicles aimed to compete with other ultra-luxury car brands like Rolls-Royce and Bentley. With their exquisite design, powerful engines, and state-of-the-art technology, the modern Maybach cars sought to carry on the legacy of their predecessors.
