Germany-Based ZEISS Expands Chesterfield, Missouri, Research-Production Operations

10/04/2024
Germany-Based ZEISS, a medical technology enterprise operating in the optics and optoelectronics industries, plans to expand its operations in Chesterfield, Missouri. The $24 million project is expected to create 40 jobs.

The new facility, located at the company’s existing site, will feature modern research and production facilities and a 2,300-square-foot ISO 7-certified clean room.

“The new space will help us to optimize the production processes in Chesterfield by improving material flows – thus increasing our productivity while maintaining our high-quality levels,” said Hartmut A. Koenig, Head of ZEISS Competence Center Chesterfield. “We are confident that the new building complex will help us to strengthen our position in the surgical instrument market.”

To support the project ZEISS will benefit from the Missouri Works program, a tool that helps companies expand and retain workers by providing access to capital through withholdings or tax credits for job creation.

“ZEISS’ expanded facility in Chesterfield is an exciting development that’s bringing even more opportunities to the St. Louis region,” noted Michelle Hataway, Director of the Department of Economic Development. “We’re proud to join our partners in supporting another cutting-edge employer as it helps Missourians prosper.”
