The ZEISS brand

More than a logo.

We truly believe that the ZEISS brand name can serve as a point of differentiation in your practice. As the pioneer of scientific optics and an industry leader across all our optical business segments, ZEISS has been challenging the limits of human imagination for over 175 years. There are countless fascinating stories connected to ZEISS that bring our brand to life and inspire the world.

Leading.

EUV lithography is the key to the nanotechnology of tomorrow. The one-of-a-kind Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology from ZEISS enables leading chip manufacturers to project structures up to 4,000 times thinner than a strand of human hair onto silicon wafers. These increasingly smaller and more powerful microchips – made possible with ZEISS technology - are the foundation for microelectronic innovations, used in nearly every digital device today.

Precise.

The ZEISS logo exemplifies unparalleled precision and is associated with experts in various scientific fields across the world – among them more than 35 Nobel Prize winners.

This image of the Canadian $100 bill is a great illustration. The microscope depicted here, is based on a Carl Zeiss Axioplan 2 imaging microscope used for cutting-edge health research. In this case it symbolizes Canada’s long-standing commitment to medical research and innovation. Can you spot the ZEISS emblem? Can you think of another company who’s product & logo feature prominently on a country’s currency?

Total view of the moon.

Inspiring.

When the goal was set to send a man to the moon, many companies helped make this dream come true. ZEISS in particular, played a major role in this great endeavor. ZEISS camera lenses, specially designed for use in space, captured the iconic images of this monumental achievement on July 20, 1969.

Did you know that almost all of the cameras & lenses from the various moon missions are still on the moon?

Open.

We strive to foster a continuous dialogue with our customers and pride ourselves on being partners they can turn to for professional support. One example of this is the collaboration between Hossinger Kunststofftechnik and ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions. The goal: To help premature babies breathe on their own.

Pumping oxygen enriched air into a 400g premature baby requires intricate, precise, and miniscule technologies, manufactured to the highest standards. That’s why Hossinger approached us. And so the ZEISS O-INSPECT, a multi-sensor measuring machine, was developed to give Hossinger engineers the confidence to treat premature babies.

Responsible.

As a company wholly owned by a foundation, social responsibility and business success have been inextricably linked for over a century.

The Aloka Vision Program, founded by ZEISS, makes vision exams and eyeglasses available in rural, underserved areas across India. The program is not a charity but a sustainable social business which addresses the root causes: a lack of vision care infrastructure and a shortage of eye care professionals. By involving and training local caregivers to conduct eye tests, this initiative not only provides thousands with better vision, but also uplifts local communities.
