Our manufacturers - today: Kasper & Richter



Kasper & Richter has been founded in 1920 to develop and manufacture fine mechanical precision instruments. The first buyers were industrial customers who measured diopters (spherometers) or thickness of varnish (thickness gauges) with instruments from Kasper & Richter. We had established a strong brand name among connoisseurs and therefore included other quality instruments like map measurers or pedometers in our line of products. Our company with its headquarters located in Uttenreuth (near Nuremberg, Germany) is a familyowned business. We are a down-to-earth company which combines modern customer service with long-time knowledge and creative workmanship. Precision made in Germany.
The best equipment is bootless, if you cannot rely on it unconditionally. With this approach, we manufacture fine mechanical precision instruments since 1920 like compasses, altimeters, pedometers and other fine products. We are doing this for all those, who know that meticulous precision is the pre-condition for strong dependability. Our products provide orientation and safety in order to apprehend more of our daily life thru precise measurements. And this is how we work: on the basis of precision, dependability and experiences, we search for innovative solutions for better products with a high degree of curiosity and creativity. Having begun with precision instruments for industrial use, we, during the last 85 years, have created a comprehensive collection of products for the purpose of counting, measuring and providing orientation. We take special pride in the fact that certain products have prevailed in the professional field as for example our compasses and altimeters for geologists and mountain guides. Within the “private“, sportive domain, our customers admire especially the pedometers, pulsemeters and also our semi-professional products like map compasses or binoculars. Because these products possess sophisticated engineering, have a high demand for quality and because of our professional competence, Kasper & Richter is a leader in many fields.
