Eric H. Seiler begins his studies at the Zeiss School of Fine Optics in Jena, Germany.
After receiving his master’s degree, Seiler and his wife Dora move to the United States and start the Seiler Instrument and Manufacturing Company.
After several years repairing and refurbishing existing equipment, Eric H. Seiler develops his own set of survey instruments for distribution.
Seiler is now manufacturing and distributing over 100 products which prompts the creation of the Manufacturing and Survey Divisions.
