A cooperation agreement between Schneider-Kreuznach and the Korean company Somo Optical Co., Ltd. was signed by the CEOs of both companies in Seoul on September 23rd. The alliance is founded on the Schneider Group’s extensive know-how in manufacturing high-precision lenses and opthalmic lenses as well as Somo Optical’s experience in the market for ophthalmic lenses. „This is a further element of our strategy to strengthen our presence in the Asian growth markets by offering a wide range of high-quality optical products and tap new markets,“ says Dr. Josef Staub, CEO of the Schneider Group. The company has already invested in new machines at the Bad Kreuznach site to expand its ophthalmic lenses business area. „We are looking forward to working with the internationally renowned Schneider-Kreuznach brand,“ says Soo Joon Shin, Chairman of Somo Optical Co., Ltd. Both partners do not rule out intensifying their cooperation in future.
