Schott Glas
 PROFILE
If you can drink out of it, see better through it, or brighten a room with it, Schott Glas makes it. The company makes kitchenware (Jenaer Glass), eyeglasses, lighting, glass for appliances and cooking surfaces (CERAN), television and computer screens, optical fibers, and lab equipment for the pharmaceutical industry. It operates worldwide through more than 80 companies, including 25 devoted to sales. Schott Glas is owned by Germany-based Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung, an independent foundation established by Ernst Abbe in 1889. Abbe, Otto Schott, and Carl and Roderich Zeiss founded Schott Glas in 1884. Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung is considering converting Schott Glas to a public limited company.
