With a true passion for business, optics pioneer Karl Steiner established Steiner Optik GmbH in 1947 and grew from a one-man factory to a more than 50-employee company within 6 years and is now the world’s leading company in binoculars production with products available in over 45 countries.

Since the beginning, Steiner has always focused on creating new optics technologies. Steiner innovations include rubber armoring, the first binoculars ever with an integrated compass, the first binocular with special optical coating to protect against harmful UV radiation, the pocket-size binoculars, and the new Predator lens coating to increase contrast of animals against wooded backgrounds.

Today, Steiner manufactures Steiner binoculars for the military, marine, hunting, outdoor, birding and leisure activities. The name Steiner stands for performance optics and over 50 years of success and innovation.
