When was Optiswiss founded?

Since its foundation in 1937 as J. & R. Flemming AG, Optiswiss has been locally based and today is completely independent. We produce exclusively in Basel and supply customers in more than 20 countries. Since its foundation, the company has grown continuously – from around 100 employees in the 1980s to more than 250 today. The company structure, too, has evolved over time. Yet continuity remains evident in our unwavering commitment to quality and innovation. Our ambition is to provide the independent optical trade with genuine differentiating advantages – as a partner on equal footing. As a result, Optiswiss ranks among the few fully independent manufacturers of ophthalmic lenses.
