Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung
 PROFILE
Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung does it with a touch of glass. The company conducts business through two independently operated enterprises -- Carl Zeiss and Schott Glas. Carl Zeiss manufactures optical devices such as microscopes, binoculars, and camera lenses. That business also produces optical systems for the medical industry and for semiconductor fabrication. Schott Glas makes glass for cooking surfaces, mirrors, optical fibers, stemware, television screens, and pharmaceutical packaging. As early as 1896, company employees enjoyed minimum wage, paid leave, profit-sharing, pensions, and a relatively lax nine-hour work day. Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung is considering taking its two operating units public.
