Shamir Lenses

Shamir Optical Industry is a globally recognized manufacturer of high-quality ophthalmic lenses, known particularly for its research and development in progressive lens technology. Originally established in Israel in the early 1970s, the company began as a small boutique laboratory and grew into a leading international provider of specialized vision solutions.

Today, Shamir is a significant part of the global optical industry landscape. While the company maintains its research and development headquarters in Israel, its manufacturing footprint is global, with production facilities and laboratories located in various regions including Europe, the United States, and Asia to serve local markets efficiently.

The ownership of Shamir has transitioned over the years. Following a major partnership that began in 2011, the brand ultimately became a fully owned subsidiary of EssilorLuxottica, the world's largest optical company. This merger of resources has allowed Shamir to leverage advanced manufacturing networks while maintaining its unique brand identity and innovative spirit in specialized lens design.
