I.O.R. (Romanian Optics
Industry), is one of the largest
and oldest factories in Europe,
initially specialized in producing
elite military opto-mechanical
devices since 1936, products
tested with great success even
during W.W.II. Kept under the
darkest shadow, as one of
Romania's biggest secrets by
the former dictator Nicolae
Ceausescu, I.O.R. has
developed and produced optics
rated as some of the finest in
the world. During the "Cold
War" years the I.O.R. products
were successfully used by the
Warsaw Pact Army and Navy
elite troops, along with other
similar products from Carl
Zeiss Jena Germany.
Today, I.O.R. - as the last
original optical factory of
Eastern Europe - to continue
their legendary existence,
remains a serious and reliable
supplier of optical components
and assemblies for other
famous European companies
like: Leica, Schnider, Hensoldt,
Pentacon, Fog-Gorlitz, Carl
Zeiss GMBH, at the same time
continuing their long time
collaboration with Jaener
GlassWerk GMBH from Jena -
Germany.
Since 1989, when the Berlin
Wall and the Iron Curtain
tumbled to the ground, all
Warsaw Pact military items
became precious collectibles.
Being exceptional products,
and now that the Warsaw Pact
no longer exists, we are finally
able to bring this incredible line
of products to the North
American market.
All I.O.R. products come with
Full Lifetime Limited Warranty.
