ZEISS Group holding entity for the Industrial Quality & Research segment, managing metrology and microscopy business units from Oberkochen, Germany.
Carl Zeiss IQR GmbH is a holding and management company within the Carl Zeiss AG group, registered at Carl-Zeiss-Strasse 22, 73447 Oberkochen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany (Amtsgericht Ulm HRB 501572). It serves as the organizational umbrella for the ZEISS Industrial Quality & Research (IQR) division, which encompasses two strategic business units: Industrial Quality Solutions (IQS) and Research Microscopy Solutions (RMS).
The IQR GmbH entity does not manufacture or sell products directly to end customers. Instead, it functions as the segment-level legal entity that oversees strategy, investment, and governance for ZEISS's precision metrology and life-science microscopy activities. The IQR division encompasses the full spectrum of ZEISS industrial metrology products — coordinate measuring machines, optical sensors, CT systems, quality software — as well as advanced research microscopy platforms.
As of October 2025, Dr. Marc Wawerla, previously CEO of Carl Zeiss Industrielle Messtechnik GmbH, joined the Executive Board of Carl Zeiss AG with responsibility for the IQR segment. The IQR segment is a major revenue contributor within Carl Zeiss AG, which in fiscal year 2023/24 reported group revenue of approximately EUR 10 billion. A new campus for the IQR division is under construction in Aalen-Ebnat, expected to house more than 2,000 employees upon completion.
The company's registered website points to the main ZEISS group portal at zeiss.de, reflecting its role as a holding structure rather than a customer-facing operational entity.
