2016 was entirely marked by uvex’s ninetieth company anniversary.
90 years of uvex – 90 years of protecting people. In collaboration with the various subgroups, there was a series of activities – from an interesting look back into the company’s history to exciting stories and to events such as the uvex sports day for employees or our exhibition at the Fürth City Museum.
Under the title “90 years of uvex – a Fürth success story”, it spanned the period from 19 March to 21 August, drawing the arc from the founding of the optical wholesale company in Fürth to the present. The successful company history as well as the product development of various business areas were vividly presented using bestsellers, extraordinary exhibits, documents and photos. On 17 March 2016, an opening event took place with Dr. Thomas Jung, Mayor of the City of Fürth, and Michael Winter, former managing partner of the uvex group.
Another highlight was the anniversary world trip around the globe with the congratulatory videos and photos recorded by the approximately 3,000 employees from all over the world.
