A history of innovation that counts a large number of fans in every category.

In its 70-year history, STEINER has been the author of several important technological innovations, such as the first nitrogen-filled binoculars in 1973, the first binoculars with integrated compass in 1979 and the first bionoculars with Nano-Protection® in 2006.
