Wolfgang knows ZEISS from the ground up. And that's no surprise as he's been working at the company's Ostalb site for over 30 years. He joined the company as an apprentice industrial mechanic and got to know the different areas over the years, from optical small batch production to the lab. "My job is very diverse," he says, his enthusiasm for his work clear in his voice. "No two days are the same. That's because every part we produce comes with its own challenges, which means my work is always exciting and varied."
Exceptional precision is the order of the day when it comes to precision machining. The industrial robots carefully handle the parts, some of which are tiny, giving them a final polish under the employees' watchful eyes. Wolfgang leads the processes during his shift. He assigns the employees to their workstations, is on hand to provide expert advice, and can assist them should the need arise.
