Carl Zeiss, Inc.

Carl Zeiss, Inc.

Carl Zeiss, Inc. functions as the U.S. corporate defined-benefit pension vehicle for Carl Zeiss AG. The structure traces to the parent company's American operations without a disclosed founding date for the plan itself. The plan lists no public asset-class allocations, named portfolio holdings, or co-investors beyond a historical joint-venture link with EQT in Carl Zeiss Vision. Geographic exposure remains confined to U.S. properties including the headquarters at 1 Zeiss Drive, White Plains, New York, and additional sites in Dublin, California, and Maple Grove, Minnesota. The plan maintains two named vehicles: the Carl Zeiss Foundation and the Carl Zeiss Inc. Health & Welfare VEBA Plan Trust. No recent operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. Governance flows directly from the German parent through appointed U.S. executives rather than an independent investment committee or external CIO.
