By naming SOLDIS Sp.z o.o a ZEISS business solutions partner, the ZEISS Group is further expanding its core competency in manufacturing execution systems (MES) on the Polish market. ZEISS has forged a close partnership with SOLDIS over many years with regard to the sales and implementation of the ZEISS GUARDUS software platform in Poland. “With over ten years of experience in the field of manufacturing execution systems to its name, SOLDIS is the perfect partner to help us raise the bar in the sales, support and service offerings of our existing and potential customers in the area of digital manufacturing,” says Gerard Quaeck, CEO of SOLDIS Sp.z o.o., explaining the added value of the growing MES expertise in Poland.

Furthermore, the MES specialist based in Gliwice will continue to play a key role in global project implementation. “For many years, we have been relying on the technological expertise of the SOLDIS team when it comes to customer- and country-specific ZEISS GUARDUS software adjustments. We will continue to actively drive this collaboration in the interests of global expansion. Ultimately, the dynamism of globalization comes with a wide range of cross-country MES ambitions in discrete manufacturing,” says Simone Cronjäger, Head of Carl Zeiss MES Solutions GmbH (previously known as GUARDUS Solutions AG) in Ulm.

“We are delighted to be a new ZEISS business solutions partner and thus in a position to further intensify our existing partnership in terms of customer consultation and care, as well as software development. With this move, we are pursuing a sustainable growth trajectory as both technology experts and entrepreneurs,” says Quaeck.
