Helmut A. Heine, our company's founder, had a clear vision when he established HEINE Optotechnik in 1946: to build the highest quality diagnostic instruments available in the world. He was convinced, the only way to achieve the most reliable diagnosis at the earliest possible stage, was by using the very best quality diagnostic instruments.
