About Inspecs Group plc
INSPECS is a Bath-based designer, manufacturer and distributor of eyewear
frames and optically advanced spectacle lenses. The Group produces a broad
range of frames and lenses, covering optical, sunglasses and safety, which are
either "Branded" (either under licence or under the Group's own proprietary
brands), or "OEM" (including private label on behalf of retail customers as
well as unbranded).
INSPECS aims to be the leader in eyewear solutions through its
vertically-integrated business model and has adopted a three-pillar growth
strategy to achieve this: (i) continue to grow organically; (ii) undertake
further acquisitions (and drive value through leveraging the Group's internal
capabilities); and (iii) extend the Group's manufacturing capacity.
The Group has completed several significant acquisitions since its IPO in
February 2020. In December 2020, INSPECS acquired Eschenbach, a leading global
eyewear supplier, headquartered in Nuremberg, Germany, which includes the
American company Tura. This followed the acquisition of lens maker Norville in
July 2020, whereby INSPECS combined two British heritage brands, Savile Row
frame maker, and Norville lens maker, further enhancing its
vertically-integrated business model. In December 2021 the Group acquired Ego
Eyewear, a design and licensing company which uses third party eyewear
manufacturers to produce premium fashion brands, and BoDe, a distributor of
optical frames and sunglasses principally to the German and neighbouring
markets.
INSPECS customers include global optical and non-optical retailers, global
distributors and independent opticians, with its distribution network covering
over 80 countries and reaching approximately 75,000 points of sale.
INSPECS has operations across the globe: with offices and subsidiaries in the
UK, Germany, Portugal, Scandinavia, the US and China (including Hong Kong,
Macau and Shenzhen), and manufacturing facilities in Vietnam, China, the UK
and Italy. With the acquisition of Eschenbach, the Group's international reach
further extends across Europe and the American markets.
