Zygo is the global leader in the design and manufacture of advanced optical metrology systems and ultra-precise optical components and assemblies. Our Metrology business segment is comprised of three major groups: optical surface profilers, laser interferometers, and stage position metrology. The products and systems produced by these groups use various optical techniques for measuring displacement, surface shape, and texture. Applications for our metrology products are diverse, and include precision machining, optical manufacturing, and semiconductor manufacturing, as well as many others. Our Optics business segment is comprised of two major groups: Electro-Optics and Optical Components. These groups leverage Zygo's expertise in optical design and assembly, and high-volume manufacturing of precision optical components and systems, for aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial applications. Founded in 1970, and headquartered in Middlefield, Connecticut, USA, Zygo's global operations are supported by over 500 dedicated and highly-skilled individuals around the world. ZYGO is driven by a passion for innovation, as evidenced by over 875 patents awarded since the Company's founding. In 2014, Zygo became part of the Ultra Precision Technologies Division of AMETEK, Inc., a leading global manufacturer of electronic instruments and electro-mechanical devices. With annual sales over $7 billion, AMETEK has more than 15,000 colleagues at nearly 150 operating locations across the United States and in 30 other countries. Zygo enjoys mutually-beneficial relationships with its AMETEK sister companies, collaborating on technologies and sharing resources in order to provide the best possible experience for our customers. While we are a part of the AMETEK family, we are still the same Zygo that you have known and trusted for over 50 years, committed to serving your precision metrology and optics needs now and in the future.

Make small things matter. In 2007, a team of researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) set out to rethink microfabrication. At that time, Two-Photon Polymerization (2PP), the underlying core physics and chemistry for the Nanoscribe technology, was a small niche research topic. The founders however recognized the potential and made 2PP-based 3D printers commercially available. Besides the 2PP-based 3D Microfabrication technology, Nanoscribe revealed its proprietary Two-Photon Grayscale Lithography (2GL ®) with presenting the maskless lithography platform Quantum X in 2019. 2GL combines 2PP with the qualities of grayscale lithography and thus enables rapid and precise microfabrication of ultra-smooth surfaces and structures with excellent shape accuracy in 2D and 2.5D. Providing hardware, software, materials and processes as a complete solution is the key to our customers’ success today and the crucial driver for applications in a wide variety of sectors such as life sciences, microoptics, material engineering, microfluidics, micromechanics and MEMS. Now, Nanoscribe has over 100 employees, operates subsidiaries in Shanghai (China) and Boston (US) and is a member of the BICO Group (formerly CELLINK) since June 2021. Our customers and more than 3,000 active operators are based in more than 30 countries worldwide, in science as well as in industry. Breakthrough research is highlighted in more than 1,300 peer-reviewed journal publications. We are actively involved in promising research and development projects with partners from science, research, industry and we also cooperate with our customers in many projects. As market and technology leader in our field, our high-precision 3D printers and maskless lithography systems are established as fundamental tools in nano-, micro- and mesoscale fabrication.
