About HEINE Optotechnik
HEINE Optotechnik is a manufacturer of medical primary diagnostics instruments founded in 1946 and based in Gilching, Bavaria. The company manufactures otoscopes, dermatoscopes, laryngoscopes, ophthalmoscopes, magnifying glasses, headlamps, as well as veterinary diagnostic instruments. Production is highly vertically integrated, meaning a high proportion of value creation occurs internally; repair and service services for its own instruments are also offered. The products are designed for longevity and repairability and are distributed worldwide. Since 2020, the headquarters has been located on a 30,000 m² property with approximately 15,000 m² of production space; the buildings operate without fossil fuels, utilizing a groundwater-powered heat pump and waste heat from the machinery. The company reports according to the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
