Meschenmoser
The story begins in 1878!
Jules Meschenmoser creates an eyewear and laboratory glassware company.
His sons Arthur and Jules strongly developed the activities and allowed Meschenmoser to become a leader in the Strasbourg market.
Robert Lehmann and his wife Yvonne complete the fields of expertise in the worlds of photography, microscopy, and topography. Precursors of contact lenses, their work sets the standard and is published at the Faculty of Medicine of Strasbourg.
Robert Lehmann fils develops the photographic activity, and gives birth to the regional audiovisual department while creating a computer graphics activity for the world of industry and topography.
Christophe Lehmann, heir to values and know-how, is refocusing his activities on eyewear and hearing aids to remain a leader in this market.
