Rodenstock Manufaktur in Regen, Lower Bavaria, has
been offering individual special designs for specific customer
needs since April. Rodenstock has successfully filled a gap in
the market with this concept. 4000 lenses were ordered and
produced in the first four
months.
Anything but
standard “The demand is even exceeding our
most optimistic expectations”, said Rodenstock Sales Director
Rupert Loibl at a company sales meeting in Miesbach in Upper
Bavaria. “The order books are full, and Manufaktur is being very
well utilised. There is such a high demand for the special
lenses Ardis and Excellent in particular, that two new employees
had to be hired for manufacturing.”
“Every
lens that leaves Rodenstock Manufaktur is a special design.
Experienced specialists use machines that we developed ourselves
to fill customer requests that are highly specific and
constantly new. The Rodenstock team falls back on pure manual
labour for individual cases requiring precision that cannot be
resolved with technology. This work is performed with the best
know-how and years of experience.
Manufaktur
in Regen manufactures lenses for different medical purposes,
among other things. One example of this is bifocal lenses for
children to treat accommodative strabismus or single-vision
lenses for extreme short- or
farsightedness.
Special lenses for
diving goggles and monocles Furthermore,
handcrafted production makes it possible to have special designs
for specific occupational groups like surgeons, tradesmen or
pilots, who have special needs in the near vision range. For
example, it is possible to individually place the near portion
at the top of the lens. In addition, plano-concave or
plano-convex lenses can be manufactured for diving goggles as
well as lenses for optical collector's items like
lorgnettes or monocles.
