Education
- Sybill Storz's father founded Karl Storz SE & Co. KG in 1945 to manufacture ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) instruments, headlamps and binocular loupes.
- Karl Storz pioneered the idea of introducing into the body (via a flexible fiber-optic cable) bright light generated by an external source.
- This "cold light illumination" innovation paved the way for modern endoscopy and laid the foundation for the company's future success.
- Today, with a portfolio of 15,000+ products, Storz is a leader in endoscopy instruments for human and veterinary medicine as well as industrial use.
- Sybill holds 44% of the privately owned company, which is based in Tuttlingen, Germany.
- Her sister, Gudrun Heine, also owns 44%.
- Sybill stepped down as managing director in 2019, handing the reins to her son Karl-Christian. She now serves as chairwoman of the board of directors.
