2021
Change at the Top: After many years of successful leadership, Managing Director Dr.-Ing. Wolfram Kleuver is leaving the company and handing over the baton to his successor, Andreas Strobel.
75th Anniversary: In May 1946, Dr. Heinrich Schneider registered the Dr. Heinrich Schneider Optotechnical Factory in the commercial register of Bad Kreuznach. In a constantly evolving world facing economic challenges shaped by political, cultural, and societal change, Schneider is proud to have established itself over the past 75 years as a leading provider of high-precision optical and multisensor measurement technology across almost all industries, both nationally and internationally. Today, the company is among the first points of contact whenever precision metrology solutions are required.
Digital Technology Center: With Schneider 360°, we have created an entirely new digital experience for our customers and prospective clients. In our real digital technology center, customers can explore the capabilities of our coordinate measuring machine portfolio firsthand—even before visiting us. It is the perfect introduction to the Schneider world and an inspiring preview of a live visit to our headquarters in Bad Kreuznach.
Olympic Games in Tokyo: For a long time, it was uncertain whether the Olympic Games in Tokyo would be able to take place under the COVID-19 restrictions. But finally, exactly one year after the originally planned opening date, the Olympic flame arrived in Tokyo—along with the PLT2 precision laser target, which has been used in the Modern Pentathlon since 2010.
725 Days Without a Trade Fair: The excitement was so great that this event earned a place among our annual highlights.
After 725 days without an in-person trade fair, Schneider finally returned to live events in October with the Dreh- und Spantage exhibition in Villingen-Schwenningen. Thanks to a well-designed hygiene and safety concept, the event was a complete success.
