Apollo eyewear

Apollo-Optik is a leading optical retailer based in Germany, widely recognized for providing a broad selection of prescription glasses, contact lenses, and sunglasses. Founded in 1972, the brand grew to become one of Germany's most prominent optical chains, establishing a massive footprint across the country with hundreds of retail locations.

Since 1998, Apollo-Optik has been a vital part of the Pearle Europe group, which later merged to become part of the GrandVision family. In a significant industry consolidation that concluded in 2021, the global eyewear giant EssilorLuxottica acquired GrandVision, bringing Apollo under its extensive corporate umbrella. This acquisition solidified Apollo's position within the world's largest eyewear network, benefiting from their advanced lens technologies and luxury frame manufacturing.

Most of the eyewear sold through Apollo centers is manufactured in various global facilities owned by EssilorLuxottica. While design often takes place in Europe, fabrication occurs across a distributed supply chain including Italy, China, and other specialized manufacturing hubs, ensuring high-quality optical standards for the consumer market.
