A half-century of commitment and loyality: 50th anniversary

Volkmar Groß began his apprenticeship as a toolmaker at Ernst Leitz Wetzlar GmbH, a predecessor of today's VIAOPTIC, on August 1, 1973, when he was 14 years old. "I was already interested in math and handicraft lessons during school, so I applied." At that time, the hiring process took place in the training center of the Hausertorwerk Wetzlar. He received the job offer on the same day.

After successfully completing his basic military service, he returned to work at the Leitz factories on January 1, 1979, mainly engaged in machine and bench work in cutting and stamping toolmaking.

As the plastic injection molding department expanded, he was increasingly involved in moldmaking, which laid the foundation for his current position as a machine setter.

We are proud to have such a dedicated and loyal employee among us. Volkmar Groß is a role model for the entire workforce and a symbol of continuity and success! Thank you!

Gemeinsam Kilometer und CO2 sparen Leitz-Park bringt Pendler per App zusammen

Gemeinsam Kilometer und CO2 sparen Leitz-Park bringt Pendler per App zusammen

Die am Leitz-Park Wetzlar ansässigen Unternehmen Leica Camera AG, Leitz-Park GmbH, Leitz-Park Marketing GmbH, Leitz Cine, VIAOPTIC GmbH und Uwe Weller Feinwerktechnik GmbH haben gemeinsam eine Pendler App eingeführt.

Ab sofort können sich Mitarbeitende per App zu Fahrgemeinschaften zusammenschließen. So wollen die Geschäftsführungen der Unternehmen in Zeiten steigender Energiepreise für einen Ausgleich sorgen und einen Beitrag zum Klimaschutz leisten.

Insgesamt rund 1.200 Mitarbeitende beschäftigen die sechs Unternehmen am gemeinsamen Standort im Leitz-Park. Wie die Mehrheit der Deutschen kommen auch sie zum großen Teil mit dem Auto zur Arbeit – viele von ihnen allein. Mit der „Leitz-Park PendlerApp“ setzen sich die Geschäftsführer für ein Klimaschutzprojekt ein, das Autofahrten und den Verkehr, der als großer Verursacher von Kohlenstoffdioxid gilt, reduziert und Pendler entlastet. Die kostenlose App unterstützt dabei, Fahrgemeinschaften zu bilden. Nach einer einfachen Registrierung können sich die Mitarbeitenden als Fahrerin oder Mitfahrerin anmelden und mit Kolleg*innen vernetzten, die einen ähnlichen Arbeitsweg haben. Dank des sogenannten Minimum-Data-Ansatzes werden dafür nur die nötigsten Informationen genutzt und die Privatsphäre jedes einzelnen geschützt.

Eine erste Bilanz der Wirksamkeit des Projekts – und der erfolgten CO₂-Einsparung – wird im Februar 2023 gezogen. Aus den meisten bestätigten Mitfahrten der App werden zu diesem Zeitpunkt die Top 5 Fahrerinnen und Beifahrerinnen ermittelt, die jeweils mit einem kleinen Preis belohnt werden.

Bereits kurz nach dem Startschuss der App registrierte sich eine erfreuliche Anzahl an zukünftigen Mitfahrer*innen. Die Initiatoren des Projekts sowie Mitarbeitende des gesamten Leitz-Parks freuen sich auf geteilte Kosten, gemeinsame Fahrten und einen Beitrag zum Klimaschutz.

Successful cooperation components for premium lighting systems

VIAOPTIC and the French coating professionals from POLYRISE are pooling their expertise and producing high-performance.

Cooperation pays off: VIAOPTIC and the French coating professionals from POLYRISE are pooling their expertise and producing high-performance, anti-reflective coated plastic lenses as part of a close partnership. These will become part of innnovative lighting systems for a successful premium lighting system supplier of the automotive industry - and thus contribute to the transformation of mobility. The Digital Mirror Devices (DMD) technology used in the headlights enables glare-free high beam. Supporting animations projected onto the road surface enhance not only road safety but also driving comfort.

"The fact that a premium lighting system supplier trusts in our high-performance products makes us very happy," says Bernhard Willnauer, Managing Director of VIAOPTIC. And Fabien Rougé, Managing Director of POLYRISE, is convinced: "Our common understanding with regard to quality and customer orientation is the basis for our long-standing, trusting cooperation. It generates synergy effects from which our customers benefit greatly."
