Carl Zeiss opens assembly, demo centre in India

Carl Zeiss opened a new assembly and demo centre for industrial metrology in Banglore, India. “The opening of this new centre enables us to manufacturer our coordinate measuring machines (CMM) directly on site for a market with major potential. We can react more quickly to the needs of our customers and will be able to expand our market position,” says Dr. Rainer Ohnheiser, President and CEO of Carl Zeiss Industrial Measuring Technology.

The tech center there allows industrial metrology to offer its customers additional services such as demos, training, contract programming, contract measurements and a service hotline.

Wilson Thomas, Managing Director of Carl Zeiss Industrial Metrology in India, adds, “We are very proud to open our fourth production site here in India after Oberkochen, Minneapolis and Shanghai. This move enables us to address the growing significance of India in the global economy.”

Industrial metrology has been active in India since 1975. After entering the market through a cooperation with Empire Machine Tools, the first sales office opened in Bangalore in 1997, followed by three tech centres in Bangalore (2008), Pune (2010) and Chennai (2012).
