On December 11, 1925, ZEISS began operations in the USA. Starting as a single branch on 5th Avenue in New York City with just 39 employees, we’re now more than 3,500 strong across 30 locations, united by a passion for innovation and excellence.
For 100 years, ZEISS USA has been part of the American story, empowering breakthroughs, inspiring discovery, and improving lives. Capturing the first images of Earth from the Moon, performing life-changing surgeries, revolutionizing filmmaking, and powering semiconductor breakthroughs that fuel the digital age.
But these moments happen because of you. Your vision, ambition, and humanity, combined with our precision.
Today, we begin our celebration of 100 years of ZEISS USA. Here's to the next discoveries, the next generation of pioneers, and the next century of advancing innovation in America, with the future in focus.
Because together, we see what is next. Together, we are Seeing beyond.
