Is the holding company of SpecMakers.com and was established in South Africa in 1972. They have a presence in UK, USA & South Africa.They have over 30 years experience running discount and wholesale retail stores that they have owned and operated in various industries. Our main business is retail and wholesale eyeglass outlets.
SpecMakers was born out of their own search for a good quality pair of eyeglasses at a reasonable price. In depth research revealed that the high prices of spectacles were not necessary and not in the interests of the public. Trips to Europe and the East to find high quality frames and superb lenses resulted in the setup of suppliers and optical laboratories that now provide our high end optical products.
The factories and laboratories where your spectacles are manufactured are "state of the art facilities" operated on a 24/7 schedule. The trained staff of “opticians and technicians” have many years of experience in the optical industry providing high quality glasses. Our glasses go directly from factory to consumer with no middle man, allowing us to offer exceptional value for money, together with a quick efficient service.
Our customers have found that an identical pair of frames and lenses could have been purchased from us several times cheaper (depending on the retailer of course), than from the high street stores. We can do this because or our massive purchasing power and control of our own supply, thus differentiating us from other Eyeglasses Shops. We are able to offer a service and quality far superior to many optical shops and within a few days of receiving your order we can ship a variety of different eyeglass frames and lenses to anywhere in the world.
