Established in 1946, Optoplast celebrates seven decades in the optical industry. Over the years Optoplast has been at the forefront of innovation and design, from the invention of the PIMO machine in 1951 which brought a new level of precision to the optical industry, to today using the latest CAD technology and 3D prototyping to push every design boundary. In 2009 Optoplast combined with Andrew Actman forming Optoplast Actman Eyewear Co. Ltd. The company continues Optoplast's tradition of exacting standards by monitoring all of its production using its Liverpool based UKAS accredited testing laboratory. Handed down through three generations, the company remains a family run business to this day, priding itself on inspirational designs, attention to every detail and commitment to the highest quality.
