History


“Guinchard Verre Optique” was founded in 1968 and first specialized in blanks such as cut disks and rods, as well as instrument glasses for avionics. The product range soon broadened to include plane-parallel polished substrates, cylinder lenses, aspheres, and coated components. In 1998, it relocated to its present location at the Scientific and Technologic Park of Yverdon-Les-Bains.

In 2000, the company joined the SCHOTT Group and became known as SCHOTT Guinchard SA and today, SCHOTT Suisse SA, Yverdon is a competence centre for optical components within the SCHOTT group.
