We've been pioneering digital medical technology for over 35 years, founded back in 1989 by Stefan Vilsmeier who started the company from his parents' home using proceeds from his bestselling book on 3D graphics. Today, we're a global team of around 2,400 people across 25 locations worldwide, all working toward the same goal: improving patient outcomes through smarter technology.
What we actually do is build software and hardware that helps surgeons and clinicians work more precisely - from image-guided surgery systems and robotic assistance to mixed reality visualization tools that let doctors interact with 3D patient data in real time. Our headquarters in Munich is LEED Gold certified, reflecting our commitment to sustainability, and over a quarter of our team works in R&D because we believe innovation requires constant investment. With 809 active patents and partnerships across the healthcare ecosystem, we're digitizing medical workflows from diagnosis through therapy to make treatments less invasive and more effective for patients everywhere.
