ZEISS announces it will host a ribbon cutting event at its ZEISS Microscopy Customer Center Bay Area (ZMCC BA), housed within the ZEISS Innovation Center California, a high-tech building designed to promote customer and employee collaboration, in Dublin, CA. The ribbon cutting will take place on April 7, 2022 at 11:30 a.m. PDT and will be live streamed from the ZMCC BA facility. Researchers, scientists, and the Bay Area community can access the live stream here.

Michael Albiez, Head of ZEISS Research Microscopy Solutions, and Manfred Bender, Senior Vice President Global Sales at ZEISS Research Microscopy Solutions, will christen the facility along with local dignitaries to the Dublin California area. The new building opened nearly a year ago to the day of the ribbon cutting but has kept minimal staff in the building due to the pandemic. This ribbon cutting initiates the opportunity for customers to visit the ZMCC BA for in-person personalized product demonstrations.
