INDEPENDENT LENS SPECIALIST (ILS) has joined forces with Shamir New Zealand to offer not only its own, state-of-the-art full-service lens laboratory, but also Shamir's extended product range.
ILS founders’ Glenn Bolton and John Clemence said they couldn’t have wished for a better partner. “We have merged with an innovative lens manufacturer dedicated to providing the best lens solutions for its customers and for independent optometrists. Our values align nicely, focusing on quality and service, and we look forward to continue to support independent optometry with Shamir New Zealand.”
Shamir’s regional president Edmund Song said Shamir is extremely positive about the new venture. “Until now, only a small range of Shamir products have been available in New Zealand. But, thanks to this new and exciting partnership with ILS, an extended range of Shamir premium lenses and multi-coatings will now be available to the New Zealand market.
“Our plan to provide fast and superior service is backed up by offering glazing services from both Christchurch and Auckland. Both sites have the latest edging equipment to glaze complex frames.”
The new partnership takes effect from 1 November 2019.
