At the age of 25, Erich Pachleitner (pictured with his wife Gerta) and three partners founded Uniopt GmbH in Graz, a trading company for optical goods such as frames, binoculars and microscopes. For the first two years, he still rides his motorbike to visit customers. In the mid-50s, he leaves this company and founds his own optics and jewellery business. This becomes a true life's work, as he leads the company through all its ups and downs for almost three decades before handing over the helm to the next generation – thus laying the foundation for what would later become MPG.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Michael Pachleitner (pictured with his sister Sabine), 24 years old and a newly qualified lawyer, is faced with the most important decision of his life: take up a position as a notary public – or see if more can be made of his father’s optics company. He chooses to take the risk and takes over the company, which at this point consists of only four employees. The young entrepreneur still has to use a public fax at Graz Central Station for communication and writes handwritten letters to Japan. But above all, he is beginning to write a new success story.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In 1973, an ambitious autodidact founded an eyewear brand in Vienna and made a name for himself worldwide: Robert La Roche. His glasses make it into international fashion magazines and Hollywood blockbusters like “Thelma & Louise” or “The Firm”. Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep and Andy Warhol wear his models. After 26 years, the cult designer retires and we acquire his brand rights.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In order to offer eyewear lenses as well as frames, Michael Pachleitner has his eye on Optic GmbH in Vösendorf. However, the necessary funds for the takeover are lacking for the time being. So he turns to a client friend and makes a pact with him. If he manages to supply the latter’s shops with lenses, the customer promises to get out of his existing lens contract. In return, he assures him of financial support. The takeover can be initiated – and the first new glass customer is immediately on board. He never changed glass suppliers again.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

After seven years in lens production, it is time for the next step: to produce lenses of the highest possible quality with the Made Germany label. So a high-performance production site with the corresponding expertise is sought in Germany. The choice falls on the Schulz Optical Factory on the Baltic coast, which at this point has 60 years of experience in lense production. From now on, it’s lenses from Glücksburg that are supposed to bring joy to those in need of eyewear.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
