Zeiss to build new China headquarters

Zeiss Group, a German manufacturer of optical systems and optoelectronics, plans to acquire a land plot in Shanghai to build its comprehensive headquarters campus for China.

The campus will cover an area of 40,000 square meters, with a total infrastructure investment of more than 600 million yuan (US$82.4 million), Frank Xie, Zeiss’ chief operating officer for China, said Thursday. China became Zeiss’ largest market in 2021. In the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2024, the company’s China revenue soared six-fold to record 15.2 billion yuan from 10 years earlier.
