Leica Camera AG and Jenoptik conclude a cooperation agreement.

Jena und Solms, 17. Juni 2008 - The existing collaboration between the partners in the area of digital imaging is to be further intensified. Know-how bundled in order to meet stringent customer requirements.

LEICA Camera AG and JENOPTIK AG have announced that Leica Camera AG and the Digital Imaging business unit forming part of the Jenoptik Group’s Optical Systems division have concluded an agreement for long-term cooperation in the area of the development, integration, manufacture and supply of digital imaging components comprising optoelectronics and software.


“Leica is a leading manufacturer of analogue and digital camera systems and our products are synonymous worldwide with the highest standards in terms of technology, quality and reliability” says Dr. Andreas Kaufmann, Chairman of the Management Board of LEICA Camera AG, commenting on the intensification of the collaboration between the two companies. During the course of the market development Leica intends to further integrate digital technology and optoelectronics in particular into its existing and future cameras and in this way further expand its position as a leader in the premium segment. “In Jenoptik we have a reliable partner for this purpose, one which has the necessary experience in order to meet the stringent requirements demanded by our customers” continues Dr. Andreas Kaufmann.

Comprehensive product portfolio in the Digital Imaging business unit.
Jenoptik’s Digital Imaging business unit specializes in the development and manufacture of high-performance imaging systems. The components and systems are used in professional, digital photography, microscopy, including, amongst others, for applications in the field of life sciences and in biotechnology, as well as in industrial metrology and traffic solutions. The product range extends from electronic assemblies and software for imaging, to digital camera systems, up to client-specific total systems, e.g. for particle metrology. Dr. Dirk Rothweiler, Head of the Jenoptik Optical Systems division: “We are pleased to be further deepening the partnership with Leica since this provides further proof of the fact that through our Digital Imaging business unit we are meeting the stringent requirements demanded by our customers”.

“The partnership enables us to offer our customers the combined expertise of both companies” adds Wolfgang Keller, Head of the Jenoptik Digital Imaging business unit. This business unit forms part of the Optical Systems division within the new Jenoptik Group divisional structure which was introduced with effect from January 1, 2008.
