With this formation, Olympus has been strengthening its leading position in minimally invasive surgery since 2010.

Hamburg / Germany

Headquarters and center for rigid endoscopy

The global competence center for rigid endoscopy is located in Hamburg. This is also the headquarters of Olympus Surgical Technologies Europe.

The cornerstone for Olympus Surgical Technologies Europe was laid as far back as 1954 with "Medizintechnischen Werkstätten Winter & Ibe" (Winter & Ibe medical engineering workshops). In 1974, a research and development cooperation was agreed with the Japanese Olympus Corporation, which led to a majority interest in the company in 1979. Advanced Japanese optical technology and German precision mechanics proved to be an internationally successful combination. Today, the development and manufacturing complex is the global Olympus competence center for rigid endoscopy across an area of over 32,000 m². Recently, the operational areas were increased and latest production processes (e.g. TPS/lean manufacturing) were introduced.
