Putting Their Name On It

The Koenigs Team

When you’re designing and manufacturing equipment intended to protect the lives of others, quality and reliability are everything. Colin Koenig who established the company in 1984, designed the visual field isolator that is the cornerstone of the business. Colin believed that, “If you make a good product, put your name on it and stand by it.” The Koenig “family“ continues to stand by its products.
