Market Position/ History

HOYA Corporation, founded in 1941 by brothers Shoichi and Shigeru Yamanaka in Hoya, Tokyo, began as an optical glass manufacturer. It quickly expanded into crystal products and later listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in the 1960s. HOYA entered the spectacle lens market in 1967 with the launch of progressive multifocal lenses and introduced soft contact lenses in 1972. Over the decades, it broadened its scope into high-tech optical components, medical devices, and vision care. Key milestones include the acquisition of PENTAX in 2008, expansion into Brazil in 2012, and multiple strategic alliances and acquisitions—such as with Seiko Optical and Swiss lens maker Knecht & Müller—strengthening its global footprint in eyeglass lenses. In 2016, HOYA launched Yuniku, the world’s first 3D-tailored eyewear, signaling its focus on individualized vision solutions. Its acquisition of Performance Optics Group in 2017, including VISION EASE and Daemyung Optical, further bolstered its lens development and manufacturing capabilities. Today, HOYA is a global leader in vision care, combining advanced materials, digital tailoring, and sustainability practices.
