History
In 1946 Helmut A. Heine, a German physicist and entrepreneur founded Heine Optotechnik with the goal of building the highest quality diagnostic instruments available in the world.  

He believed the quality of the instrument would determine the quality of the diagnosis. Since then, they have been designing and manufacturing high quality diagnostic instruments. From a company with twelve employees to a business with over 500, Heine prides itself on quality and dependability. Today, as a part of a worldwide group with headquarters in Germany, Heine sets the standard by which all other diagnostic instruments can be measured.

All of Heine products are made in production facilities in Switzerland and Germany. Heine engineers contribute their expertise in the fields of optical fibers, glass, special alloys, advanced thermoplastics, and medical diagnosis to continually improve Heine instruments with the latest and greatest technologies and concepts. The results of their continued efforts are cutting-edge designs that perfect diagnostic skills and allow the provider to offer the best service to their patients. 
Their reputation is built on accuracy and dependability. They have gained this reputation by producing products that pass rigorous standards tests consistently.
