In the aftermath of World War I, the company started producing machines for canning jars, and cast iron lapping tools for numerous local optical factories. Since these humble beginnings, Satisloh has achieved many notable milestones. With its strong foundations and knowledge, the manufacturer has shaped the present landscape of optical manufacturing and is continuing to create the future of lens processing.

Even though the company was founded one hundred years ago, the vision remains the same: with customers at the center of everything, they do – improving customer production with custom processes and manufacturing solutions. They continue to drive innovation and development with new sustainability technologies, automation, equipment, consumables and processes.

“Celebrating our 100^th anniversary is an exciting milestone for the company and our employees. It is also an opportunity to thank everyone who has been on this incredible journey with us – our customers, suppliers, business partners, and the extended Satisloh family. Your support helped us reach this milestone,” said Group CEO Bruno Fischer.

The celebrations have kicked off on MArch 23rd at Satisloh locations across the world. The anniversary will be recognized throughout 2022 at tradeshows and events worldwide for both customers and employees. Satisloh’s 100^th year will culminate with a celebratory global SLUGFest from the 4^th to 6^th of October 2022 in Wetzlar, Germany – right where its story began.
