2021. November 17. 10:12
Jena, Germany, 17. 11. 2021 (APA/OTS) - 175 years ago, young
mechanic Carl Zeiss opened his workshop for precision mechanics and
optics in Jena, thus laying the foundation for what would become
ZEISS.
To mark this special day, the company ran a celebration event.
The virtual event took place on 16 November 2021 at the Volkshaus,
in the company's founding city Jena. During the virtual event, Dr.
Karl Lamprecht, President and CEO of the ZEISS Group, praised the
company's successful past, celebrated its present and shared his
outlook on the future.
"ZEISS' unique history and its exceptional achievements make it
a truly extraordinary company. Its 175 years also demonstrate the
company's high level of resilience and its willingness to accept
change. And, above all, ZEISS' tremendous passion, coupled with its
pioneering spirit and its pragmatism in challenging and pushing the
limits of the technically feasible," said Dr. Lamprecht. "175 years
of ZEISS are more than just a historical milestone in our corporate
history. It's also what motivates us to look ahead and help
contribute to a bright future shaped by technological innovations."
In a video message, German Federal President Frank-Walter
Steinmeier congratulated all ZEISS employees around the world: "175
years of ZEISS is much more than an anniversary. Its interplay of
entrepreneurial spirit, drive to research, and inventiveness make
the ZEISS Group a pioneer of modern industry." The President
underlined ZEISS' responsibility as a foundation-owned company:
"Thanks to Ernst Abbe's visionary realization that economic
success, scientific progress and social cohesion all go together,
he set up the Carl Zeiss Foundation and thus paved the way for the
company to take entrepreneurial responsibility for the common
good."
