Carl Zeiss Expands Valued Added Resellers Initiative


Thornwood, N.Y.-Carl Zeiss, a leading provider of microscopy solutions for a variety of research, clinical and industrial applications, recently announced an expanded Valued Added Resellers (VAR) partner initiative. VAR companies develop and market specialized solutions and imaging systems based on traditional microscopes.

Carl Zeiss has been actively engaged with VAR companies for many years, and has proven to be a reliable partner. The new initiative provides additional resources with increased support for partner companies by helping to address technical questions and by making it easier to conduct business with Carl Zeiss.

VAR companies are responding to customers' continued demand for application-specific problem solving solutions based on a very detailed understanding of the underlying application requirements. While Carl Zeiss offers a wide spectrum of such application driven customer solutions for a large segment of the market, VAR partner companies often develop highly customized solutions for specific niche applications.

Value Added Resellers offer a solution that is wrapped around a traditional microscope, either a stereo or pathology microscope, or an innovative approach to confocal imaging. They are seeking to minimize risks, development time and cost and to bring to market powerful solutions exceeding the target customers' needs and requirements. By developing solutions based on Carl Zeiss technology and by partnering with Carl Zeiss, VAR companies can rely on the following advantages:

  • Dedicated and highly experienced US based VAR Partner Manager
  • Outstanding optical performance and mechanical design
  • Open architecture to control motorized functionality via SDK or serial command set, with fast hot line support for trouble shooting problems or advice on programming strategy
  • Global service organization
  • Global sales organization for 2nd tier support of microscopy questions, particularly important for smaller start of companies with limited field infrastructure
  • Access to unparalleled resource pool expertise in microscopy and fluorescence imaging
  • Fast and local technical support from highly experienced and US based product management team
  • Strength of Zeiss reputation for optical and mechanical excellence

    Carl Zeiss aims to be the preferred component and/or microscope system partner by providing outstanding support and unsurpassed optical and mechanical performance. This allows VAR partner companies to bring their products to market quickly and successfully, regardless of their specific system solution.
