Schneider was established in 1913 as "Joseph Schneider Optische Werke" in the town of Bad Kreuznach (state Rhineland-Palatinate). Their first cinema lenses were introduced in 1915.
Isco was established in 1936 as "Jos. Schneider & Co., Optische Werke, Göttingen", their lens designer was former Schneider chief optical engineer Albrecht Werner Tronnier. Göttingen is a well-known university town in the state Lower Saxony( about 190 US miles from Bad Kreuznach).
Schneider went to insolvency in 1982 and was sold to Heinrich Manderman who owned a number of well-known photo related companies (Rollei, Orwo, Exakta, Praktica). Today, Schneider Kreuznach is owned by his family.
Following the Schneider insolvency in '82, Isco was restructured and named Isco-Optik GmbH. In 2003, they became insolvent too and were bought by a Swiss investor group. In 2008, Isco became a division of Schneider Kreuznach again.
OT: Göttingen also had a film studio complex where more than 90 German feature films were produced between 1948 and 1961.
