ABOUT LEUPOLD & STEVENS, INC.
It’s a decidedly American story: in 1907, a young German immigrant
named Fred Leupold set up a one-man shop at 5th and Oak Streets in
Portland, Oregon, repairing optics for surveying equipment. The small
company survived the First World War and the Great Depression, however,
it was the Second World War that would forever change the company.
Working with the U.S. Army on a riflescope and the Navy on optics
for use aboard ships, the engineers at Leupold learned the secrets of
waterproofing and durable construction that would completely change
the world of sports optics.
Leupold & Stevens, Inc. is still family-owned, though the focus has turned
from land surveying to helping people across the globe survey their
environments with innovative, high-performance optics and accessories.
Leupold optics are renowned for their unchallenged ruggedness, absolute
waterproof integrity, and their vastly superior optical quality. More than
a century of observation and optical experience has gone into every
product we produce, and we think the results are well worth the extra effort
required to achieve this level of quality.
In true American style, the philosophical foundation laid in our early years
has served us well as we’ve grown and changed over the decades. In fact,
the firm’s founder established the clarity of purpose that we see at Leupold
& Stevens today:
“We solemnly promise never to let down on quality, the customer is entitled
to a square deal.” - Markus Friederich “Fred” Leupold
