The Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH is 100 percent owned by the Carl Zeiss AG . It produces at the locations in Jena and Oberkochen in Germany and Minsk in Belarus. The head office is in Jena.
Business activity and fields of application
The products are used on the one hand in the field of photonics (e.g. medicine, measurement and semiconductor technology), on the other hand in industries such as mechanical engineering or the automotive and supplier industries. The focus is on the development, manufacture and testing of optical and mechanical components and systems:
- Development of optical solutions (optical design + construction, prototypes and series production)
- Assembly of optical systems (gripping, assembling, adjusting)
- Development and manufacturing of optical components (eg. As aspheres , freeform optics, optical layers, bulk optics, micro-optics )
- Development and production of mechanical components ( prototypes , equipment and mechanical individual parts as well as surface finishing )
- Lenses for interferometers
The company primarily manufactures for the Zeiss Group. In addition, service and production services are also offered to customers outside the Zeiss Group and institutions worldwide.
history
On July 1, 1990, the VEB Carl Zeiss Jena combine was transferred to Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH, which from September 1990 traded under the name Jenoptik Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH. At the same time, 12 other companies in the combine were made legally independent. Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH was founded on October 1, 1991 with 2,800 employees. She took over the optical core business of the former combine. Jenoptik GmbH (since 1996 Jenoptik AG ) took over the remaining areas. Carl Zeiss AG , based in Oberkochen, has been the sole shareholder of Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH since 1995 .
From 1995 the Zeiss BelOMO joint venture was set up as a production site in Minsk. By 1997, several business areas were spun off from Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH, including optical coordinate measuring technology, analytical measuring technology and laser production. The geodesy and photogrammetry divisions, which had previously existed at both locations, were combined in Jena and Oberkochen in 1997 and incorporated into joint ventures in 1999. In 2002 Carl Zeiss Meditec AG started its business. The ophthalmology division of Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH was merged into this company.
The microscopy departments at Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH and at other Zeiss locations were merged in 2006 to form Carl Zeiss MicroImaging (now Microscopy). The planetarium business unit has been part of the Zeiss Group since 2009. On March 1, 2009, production and technology areas in Oberkochen and Jena were legally merged into Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH. This makes Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH the central production company for optics and mechanics in the Zeiss Group today.
Since July 1, 2015, Carl Zeiss Spectroscopy GmbH (a spin-off from the Microscopy portfolio) has been a subsidiary of Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH . This company manufactures spectrometer components and complete systems for spectro-optical analysis and quality control (for laboratory applications and online) in various branches of industry (e.g. agriculture, chemical, food, semiconductor and glass industries) as well as for teaching and research .
