Since the beginning, Steiner has always focused on creating new optics technologies. Many revolutionary innovations were not only developed by Steiner, but they set the industry standards for future products. Steiner innovations include rubberized armoring, the first binoculars with an integrated compass, the first binocular with special optical coating to protect against harmful UV radiation, the pocket-size binocular, and the new Predator lens coating to increase contrast of animals against wooded backgrounds.
Faithful to the traditions upon which his father founded the company, Carl Steiner held on to his commitments to unsurpassed quality; to keeping the production location in Germany; to creating new jobs, career opportunities, and expert training for the staff of now approximately 300; and to constantly invest in research and development. Today, Steiner manufactures binoculars for the military, law enforcement, marine, hunting, outdoor adventure, birding and leisure communities. The name Steiner stands for performance optics.
From its humble, post-war beginnings, the company has made it into the league of the largest manufacturers of high-quality optics. Generations of devotion have resulted in the highest level of technology, for a lifetime of dependable performance.
