auditing data protection communication and marketing it quality and processes and as human resources director for personnel . the group can trace its heritage back to the original carl zeiss ag company founded in jena in 1846 . following world war ii jena fell within the soviet occupation zone later to become east germany . in 1948 when it was apparent that the soviet authorities were moving toward establishing a separate communist state in their occupation zone most of the main zeiss company hastily relocated to west germany . the soviet and east german authorities took over the old zeiss factory in jena and used it as the nucleus for the state owned kombinat veb zeiss jena . the eastern zeiss became well known for its high quality optical equipment . following german reunification veb zeiss jena became zeiss jena gmbh . the company then sold its microscopy division and other optical divisions to carl zeiss ag effectively reuniting the old prewar zeiss firm . the remainder of zeiss jena gmbh continued as jenoptik carl zeiss jena gmbh owned by the state government of thuringia specializing in the areas of photonics optoelectronics and mechatronics . 1 2 the name was shortened to jenoptik gmbh and was renamed jenoptik ag in 1996 when the state divested its interest . the jenoptik trademark is owned by jenoptik ag . jenoptik is regarded as one of the few companies descended from an east german state owned enterprise to be successful in the post reunification era . 2 indeed it was one of the few east german firms that was thought to have a realistic chance of competing in a global market . group structure and business activities edit lasers & material processing division lasers individual epitaxial layer structures on wafers high quality lasers
