About Optrel

Swiss Made Innovation

optrel AG

In 1986, optrel pioneered the field of safety and personal protective gear with automatically darkening welding helmets for welding and grinding industries. Today, Optrel is a leading global supplier of face, eye, and respiratory protection for workers in industrial and healthcare.

Here’s the optrel difference:

Optrel products are not mass-produced. Almost every piece of safety gear is unique, and tailored to the customer.
Products are manufactured at optrel AG, in. Switzerland.
Although optrel has grown exponentially, we are still shaped by the ethos of a family business—strong values and sustainable business practices.
The continuous pursuit of perfection and the combination of the latest technologies and materials are reflected in every Optrel product and guarantee.
All optrel welding, grinding, and healthcare safety products are developed to the highest level of safety and comfort.

Optrel exists to make the lives of welders, medical professionals, and other workers safer, longer, and more fulfilling—on the job and off.

Optrel quickly grew from a small family company to a major global player. The Optrel Group includes highly specialized companies such as Optrel Tec AG, in which the entire product development process is bundled. Our sales and logistics network spans the entire globe and is ensured by our sales companies Optrel AG, Optrel Inc., and Optrel Sports AG. Wherever our customers are, we are close to them.
