HOLEX TECH – OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIVE OF ZEISS IN UKRAINE

Historical Development and Transformation

In the 20th century, the company evolved under global challenges — wars, economic crises, and the post-war division of Germany. After 1945, ZEISS operated as two separate entities, which later merged following German reunification. This laid the foundation for the modern organizational model and business restructuring.
