LAS VEGAS—Precision Optics announced today that it will be the North American distributor for Wagner and Kuhner. New styles from both collections are currently debuting at Vision Expo West.

Mike Woodford, VP of Precision Optics, said the partnership started about six months ago. “Now we’re bringing in the WK+ and MORE & MORE collections,” he said.

“We are delighted to introduce our new styles for the USA,” Michael Spreyer, sales director for Wagner and Kuhner, said, calling the partnership a great opportunity for both companies.

“We’ll actually have stock and inventory at our store in Omaha selling the frames,” Woodford told VMail. He added, “We’ll also be hiring sales reps throughout the country.”

Precision Optics, based in Omaha, Neb. was founded in 1963 as a contact lens manufacturer and distributer. Wagner and Kuhner is based in Bad Kreuznach, Germany and was founded in the late 1940s.
