- Fielmann Group AG Fielmann Group AG operates as a leading provider of vision care and audiology products and services through an omnichannel model encompassing digital channels and over 1,200 retail stores worldwide. The company manufactures and sells prescription glasses, eyewear frames and lenses, sunglasses, contact lenses, accessories, hearing aid systems and related accessories, and personal protective equipment under brands including fielmann, Optika Clarus, Optica & Audiologia Universitaria, Medical Optica Audicion, and SVS Vision; it also delivers primary eyecare services such as free vision and hearing tests, optician consultations, and eye health checkups. Fielmann Group AG serves approximately 29 million active customers, targeting individual consumers and corporate clients including employers seeking screen workplace glasses, safety eyewear, magnifier glasses, and smart glasses solutions, with operations spanning Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, North America, and other international markets.
Founded in 1972 by Günther Fielmann, with headquarters in Hamburg, Germany, the company maintains full value chain integration from design and manufacturing to retail distribution and professional services; it functions as a subsidiary of Korva SE and employs around 24,000 people. In July 2023, Fielmann Aktiengesellschaft rebranded to Fielmann Group AG to reflect its expanded scope. Recent developments include the July 2024 acquisition of Shopko Optical in the United States to bolster North American expansion; a strategic partnership with Ubimax announced in late 2024 to integrate remote support software with smart glasses for corporate digitalization; and in 2025, ZEISS Vision Care's investment in Ocumeda, a tele-ophthalmology platform previously backed by Fielmann, at a €100 million valuation to scale connections between patients, optical stores, and ophthalmologists. On September 1, 2025, the group relocated its head office to Fuhlsbüttler Strasse in Hamburg's Barmbek-Nord district after nearly 40 years at Weidestrasse; it also achieved uplisting to the MDAX index in September 2025 and reported strong first-half 2025 sales growth of 12 percent alongside profitability targets.
