From wood processing and electronics manufacturing to textile and paper production, to the automotive and building materials industries – laser innovations from Freiburg are used wherever reliable precision and efficient high-performance processes are called for.
Locally Rooted, Globally Present
The Black Forest in the southwest of Germany is an economic region rich in tradition. People here are proud of their inventive spirit, tenacity, their knack for technology, and sense of precision. So, it’s no wonder that countless world market leaders and hidden champions are based here.
Z-LASER is also characterized by this trait of innovation and success: More than 120 employees develop, manufacture, and market new laser and photonics solutions to better solve our customers’ challenges.

That’s why research and development are at the core of Z-LASER’s enterprise and staffed by more than 25% of our committed employees.
As a result, our customers can achieve better results with our perpetual innovative solutions.
We get to the point…
… because we know that company presentations don’t necessarily belong in the blockbuster category. And you certainly don’t have that much time either. That’s why we’ve condensed our 35 years of laser history into a crisp 17 pages. And instead of talking about us, we’d rather let our innovations do the talking. For all other questions, we are of course always there for you.
