Zeiss zooms into focus with a rapid growth of revenues

Having been Zeiss' president of South Korea, France and China, Maximilian Foerst, has proved himself as an effective leader by presiding over a period of rapid revenue growth in all those regions during his tenure.

China was the sixth biggest market for Zeiss when Foerst came to China eight years ago and now it's the third biggest market for the company. He modestly attributed their success to those companies always providing innovative products and outperforming the competitors.

"China, by far, is the most dynamic market for Zeiss. Even though the country is seeing a slowdown in the economy, there is still substantial growth potential," said Foerst.
