Leupold - A Family Commitment to Excellence

Certainly, you can buy a scope without knowing the history of the company. Often times, however, by learning about a long history, you come to realize just how dependable a certain scopes line is. This is certainly the case with Leupold. An American, family-owned business now in its fifth generation, Leupold has been designing and assembling optical instruments and other products for 100 years. Now that is an accomplishment worth recognizing.

The Leupold Beginnings

In 1907, the company was first founded by Fred Leupold. A German immigrant to America, he set up his shop in Portland, Oregon on 5^th and Oak Streets. He intended to repair optics for surveying equipment. Eventually, his brother in law, Adam Voelpel, joined him. Then, an amazing inventor joined their forces by the name of John Cyprian Stevens. They survived both World War I and the Depression, but it was during World War II that they really made their mark.

World War II

They worked together with the U.S.Army and Navy on optics that could be used on ships. While doing so, the Leupold engineers learned techniques for waterproofing and for creating durable equipment. Their skills would soon change the world of sports optics.

With over a century of trial and error, they have certainly gotten it right to create binoculars, scopes and accessories that are top-of-the-line. Their motto shows their commitment to excellence and their understanding of the field in which they operate. As they say, "We solemnly promise never to let down on quality, the customer is entitled to a square deal."
