Jenoptik AG is a large international
photonics technology company based in
Jena,
Thuringia,
Germany. The group can trace its heritage back to the original
Zeiss company, founded in Jena in 1846. Following World War II, the East German authorities established Kombinat VEB Zeiss Jena, while the main Zeiss company had relocated to West Germany. Following German reunification, VEB Zeiss Jena became Zeiss Jena GmbH, then JENOPTIK Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH, before the name was shortened to Jenoptik AG.
