IOR was established in 1936 and its main activity is the design and manufacture of opto-mechanical equipment. The company is SR EN ISO 9001 certified since 1992.

In 1941 IOR was militarized and, therefore, it preminently manufactured products for the army (binoculars, telescopes, telemeters, etc.). After 1949, the first eyeglasses lenses were produced, in 1951 the first didactic microscopes and, in 1954 the first photo apparatus. After 1959, more attention was given to the medical area and so the first products for ophthalmology were manufactured. In 1960 IOR produced the first binocular laboratory microscopes, in 1961 the first dental units, in 1962 the first research microscopes and in 1967 they began to produce photo objectives. After 1980 IOR started its activities in the emerging fields of opto-electronics, lasers, metrology and thermovision.
