With China being its largest single market worldwide and one of its most dynamic growth engines, German optics giant Zeiss Group will continue to deepen its presence in the country and build a win-win ecosystem with local partners, said its China head.
Martin Fischer, president and CEO of Zeiss Greater China, said during a recent forum in Shanghai:"As a technology leader, we know China is where the future is being built in real time — and where the dialogue between technology and industry truly shapes the world. That is why we are celebrating Zeiss' 180th anniversary here today: not only to honor our legacy, but even more to look ahead to the next 180 years."
He noted that for China, as for Zeiss, 2026 is a special year, as it marks the start of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30). "Zeiss' capabilities resonate strongly with China's strategy of high-quality development. We are aligned in industrial ambition, in innovation intensity, and in long-term thinking."
Zeiss first entered China in 1957. At its innovation, and research and development centers in Shanghai, Suzhou in Jiangsu province, and Guangzhou in Guangdong province, it is advancing both products and processes, with solutions serving customers worldwide.
