CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.— National Optronics has named DAC Vision as a National Optronics equipment distributor, effective April 1.

Previously, National Optronics equipment had only been available through Satisloh, which has been distributing the line since 2010. Both National Optronics and Satisloh are owned by Essilor.

Pete Lothes, president and CEO, Satisloh North America said, “Both Satisloh and DAC have large, loyal customer bases. While there is some overlap; there is a significant segment of the market that is complementary. This new arrangement provides labs and ECPs throughout the U.S. with easier access to National Optronics products,” he said.

“We are excited to offer National Optronics equipment to both our ECP and lab customers,” said David Meisenheimer, president, DAC Vision. “It expands and complements our existing product portfolio with a known and trusted tabletop equipment brand.”

Technical service for all customers will continue to be provided by National Optronics, the most dependable and experienced support team in the industry, based in Charlottesville, Va. and with field technicians as well, the company said.

All National Optronics equipment is built in the U.S., including its dry edging tabletops, the only edgers of this type that are available.
