ZEISS is an internationally leading technology enterprise operating in the optics and optoelectronics industries. The headquarters is based in Germany with operations in more than 50 countries. ZEISS products were introduced to Thailand before 1917 by the company B.Grimm. Until May 3th, 1991, Zeiss and B.Grimm established Carl Zeiss Co., ltd. , a joint venture company and opened the office in Bangkok. With the rapid growth, ZEISS office expanded from 668.12 sqm to about 1,000 sqm, which can accommodate over 300 employees.

The opening of the new office is driven by ZEISS’ growth ambitions in Thailand and its commitment to providing a modern, collaborative, and welcoming environment for its employees and clients. The goal is to create a workspace that fosters collaboration, engagement, and well-being for the 300 employees in the Bangkok office.
Thai inspirations also tie the design together to create an inviting, warm, and hospitable environment through locally sourced furnishings and materials used in the workspace. “We wanted to create a space that welcomes our clients and guests while enhancing our employees’ collaboration and engagement,” said Ven Raman, Managing Director, ZEISS Southeast Asia. “This thoughtful design extends a warm atmosphere to our team each day while striking an ideal balance between ‘me’ and ‘we’ spaces. We expanded our communal area so that employees can enjoy lunch together and have a flexible space for collaboration and brainstorming sessions. This area can also transform into a versatile event space for both internal and external events, such as product launches and town hall meetings.”
Instead of a formal reception, a self-help kiosk and an open work café greet employees and guests, providing a welcoming atmosphere as they enter the office. To boost workplace morale and collaboration, communal areas were expanded to create a community space that can be used for brainstorming sessions, unwinding between meetings, or meals together. It also includes private focus pods, social zones, and a gaming area to encourage relaxation and team bonding.
