This is true for all countries, companies and industries – the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all of us both personally and financially. For this reason, on behalf of the entire ZEISS Executive Board team I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our customers and partners for continuing to place their trust in us and enabling our successful collaborations. At the same time, I would also like to thank our over 32,000 employees for their exceptional and unwavering commitment, and the tremendous flexibility they have shown. Together, we have ensured that ZEISS can look back on a very good fiscal year 2019/20 overall and emerge from this global crisis stronger than ever. The ZEISS Group has generated revenue of 6.3 billion euros, which closely approximates the prior year's level. However, the pandemic has meant that we have fallen short of our Dr. Karl Lamprecht initial expectations. The EBIT for the ZEISS Group stood at a relatively high 922 million euros (prior year: 1.1 billion euros). ZEISS had been working on a resilience program prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The program comprises a series of measures that aim to shore up the company's resilience in the event of an economic downturn. And these measures have proven their worth in the current unusual circumstances. ZEISS is pursuing four aims to limit the impact of the crisis: To protect its employees' health, ensure smart business continuity to the greatest possible extent, and support its customers worldwide. At the same time, the company will be demonstrating its resilience in combating the economic impact of the pandemic as best it can, and leveraging the market opportunities that arise from the current changes. This year's results in detail The four ZEISS segments have developed differently in the past fiscal year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, thanks to its innovative EUV lithography, the Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology segment was largely unaffected by the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, the Industrial Quality & Research, Medical Technology and Consumer Markets segments were faced with different challenges as a result of the pandemic: weak development in the automobile industry, the postponement of non-essential surgeries and the lockdown meant business in these segments suffered a great deal. Innovative power is a success factor for ZEISS as a global technology leader. This also becomes evident if we consider its sizeable expenditure in research and development. We have not put the brakes on spending in these areas in the past fiscal year. They account for 13 percent of revenue and are a key investment in the future. ZEISS' focused investment strategy is one of the company's cornerstones. We will continue to invest in the ramped-up digitalization – that is, in providing digital solutions for our customers – and in digitalization at the company. In March 2020 we successfully acquired software company Saxonia Systems AG (Munich). This has allowed ZEISS to systematically expand its software know-how and secure further expertise and resources to realize digital projects of strategic significance. 6 Particularly during the lockdown it was important to remain in close contact with our customers and be able to offer them the level of service they have come to expect. Virtual technology conferences and trade shows were very well received as new communication formats. Our remote services will enable software installation, updates and real-time support for ZEISS products without the need for an on-site appointment. Furthermore, remote services will play an even bigger role in the future as smart services, i.e. real-time system monitoring and preventive maintenance, become increasingly commonplace. We will continue with these digital formats until it is possible to meet in person again. As a foundation-owned company, we also bear a special responsibility for training our employees – and for helping them achieve further qualifications. Due to the dynamic situation induced by the COVID-19 pandemic, many ZEISS employees were forced to adapt to new working conditions with very little warning. We have also continued to expand the offering on our digital learning platform ZEISS CurioZ. The company is thus investing in employee qualification in the current situation. After all, additional skills will help both ZEISS and its employees to emerge from the COVID-19 crisis stronger than ever. At the end of the reporting period on 30 September 2020, 473 apprentices and students in Germany were doing their training at ZEISS – 19 more than in the prior year. A positive outlook The ability to adapt, be flexible, learn new things and apply your own core strengths all go hand in hand. And the resilience programs we've established have already begun to bear fruit. We will pursue these in order to continue bolstering the company's ability to adapt and be resilient. And we can see and feel the great opportunities that such a major blow like the COVID-19 pandemic can have on our daily business. The work behind this is taking place increasingly in the digital realm – and the tools to accompany this are working very well indeed. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this development. And perhaps this has given us the push we needed to consistently deploy digital methods throughout the company. We have certainly picked up the pace, and will continue to power ahead – with digital topics, digital solutions, digital products, remote services and web-based communication formats that will take ZEISS and our customers into the future. The ZEISS Group will continue down the course it has charted – and it will emerge from the crisis stronger than ever. Of course, it is still difficult to predict the full economic impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on ZEISS. But thanks to our clear strategic alignment, as set out in the ZEISS Agenda, and a portfolio guided by megatrends the company‘s global footprint and additional opportunities created by the crisis, the entire ZEISS Executive Board team and I have every reason to be optimistic about the future. At the same time, 2020 is a cause for celebration at ZEISS: 175 years ago, Carl Zeiss laid the foundations for a company that has grown into a technology leader and, as expressed in our tagline "Seeing Beyond," proves time and again that it can excel through its innovative strength and certainly think outside the box. Stay healthy.

  • Carl Zeiss, 32, Wagnergasse, Jena, Germany. ((1847) Also: 29/II Dorotheen Strasse 29, Berlin, Germany
    Carl Zeiss, 32, Wagnergasse, Jena, Germany. ((1847) also: 29/II Dorotheen strasse 29, Berlin, Germany. (1901) and 29, Margaret St, Regent St, London W (1901) The founder, Carl Zeiss (1816-1888) was born in Weimar, the son of a cabinet maker and ivory carver. He graduated from school in 1834, qualified to be apprenticed to the Grand Dukes Instrument maker, Dr Koerner, and attended academic courses as well as working as apprentice. Next he travelled from Jan. 1838 to Oct. 1845 to study in Stuttgart, Darmstadt, Vienna, and Berlin to broaden his experience. Back at home, he studied chemistry and higher mathematics. By May 1845, he felt well enough qualified to apply to the County Administration at Weimar for permission to found "An establishment for the production of advanced mechanical devices", hoping for a relationship with the University to advance designs. Money was tight with capital of 100 Thalers (possibly £100) only, but in Nov. 1846, he opened at 7, Neugasse. It remained a small business for years, as it took some 20 years for the University relationship to be productive, and he often grew weary of the trial and error methods traditionally used in the trade. Much of the production was of microscopes- often relatively simple ones by modern standards, such as dissection viewers. Then in 1863, a young lecturer Ernst Abbe (1840-1905) joined the University to teach physics and astronomy. Zeiss approached him in 1866 for cooperation in the design of improved systems and this lead to new ideas, eg in the Abbe refractometer (1869), a comparator and a spectrometer.

  • Optical Expert Named New Professor for History of Physics at University and Founding Director of German Optical Museum
    URL: http://www.uni-jena.de/en/News/PM180618_Mappes_en.pdf Optical Expert Named New Professor for History of Physics at University and Founding Director of German Optical Museum Dr Timo Mappes to assume new role on 1 July 2018 / jointly appointed by University of Jena and German Optical Museum Dr Timo Mappes has been appointed Professor for the History of Physics with a focus on scientific communication at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena (Germany). He will also be the founding Director of the new German Optical Museum in Jena. Mappes will assume his new duties on 1 July 2018. Scientist, manager and scientific communicator "The highly complex job profile for this professorship meant the search committee faced a difficult task. We were very fortunate to find an applicant with so many of the necessary qualifications," says Prof. Dr Gerhard G. Paulus, Chairman of the search committee, adding: "If the committee had been asked to create its ideal candidate, it would have produced someone that resembled Dr Mappes." Mappes has a strong background in science and the industrial research and development of optical applications, and over the last twenty years has become very well-respected in the documentation and history of microscope construction from 1800 onwards. Last but not least, he has management skills and experience in sharing his knowledge with the general public, and with students in particular. All of this will be very beneficial for the German Optical Museum. The new concept and the extensive renovation of the traditional Optical Museum in Jena will make way for the new German Optical Museum, a research museum and forum for showcasing the history of optics and photonics.
