LARGAN Precision was founded in 1987. It is a global leader in plastic aspherical lens design and production. Largan currently has 9 manufacturing facilities and 3 others that are under construction.

Not only does Largan develop various miniaturized optical components, but the Group also produces voice coil motors (Largan Digital), contact lenses (Largan Medical), sleep monitoring (Largan Health), and actively expands various product types to meet market demand.

In the past, the optical components industry had maintained stable growth due to the development of products such as cameras, telescopes, and microscopes. However, the development of digital cameras and mobile phones in recent years has now led to rapid growth of optical components and lenses. This mainly began with the global digital camera market which took off in 2000 and led a new wave of imaging revolution. Growth exceeded market expectations and caused a continuous shortage of supply for optical components such as lenses over many years. The introduction and popularity of camera phones further intensified the need for lenses, and the development of multiple lenses on handheld devices has escalated this demand. Besides this imaging market, the optical industry has also expanded to automobiles and drones and as such, the industry is expected to continue to expand in the next few years.
