About HENSOLDT
HENSOLDT is a globally leading supplier of premium sensors for reconnaissance and surveillance purposes. The company was formed from Airbus’ defence electronics activities, which were spun off from the Airbus Group in 2017 and have now entered the market together with the former Airbus DS Optronics as a new sensor house under the brand name of HENSOLDT. With a workforce of some 4,000 employees, HENSOLDT generates revenues of approximately €1 billion per year.
Since 1896 the name of Hensoldt has stood for combat-proven, reliable and precise targeting and observation optics for handguns right up to heavy weapon systems. The product range of HENSOLDT Optronics includes optical units, sights, spotters, night vision devices and image intensifiers. With approximately 800 employees at its German sites in Oberkochen and Wetzlar as well as in Irene (South Africa), Belo Horizonte (Brazil), Seoul (South Korea) and Sidi bel Abbès (Algeria), HENSOLDT Optronics, previously known as Carl Zeiss Optronics and now a business line of HENSOLDT Holding Germany, develops, designs and produces optronic, optical and precision-engineered products for military, civil and security applications.
