Minox is a renowned brand with a storied history in the world of optics, famously known for the subminiature photography equipment used in spycraft during the 20th century. The brand originated in Latvia, where Walter Zapp invented the first subminiature camera, but it significantly evolved as a German engineering powerhouse following World War II.
Today, the brand focuses on high-quality sport optics, including binoculars, spotting scopes, and camera accessories. Ownership of the brand has transitioned over the years from Leica to management buyouts, and eventually into the Blaser Group. Production is handled through a global supply chain where high-end optics are often manufactured in Germany, while various accessories and entry-level lines are typically produced in Asia to balance performance and cost.
