Founded in 1830 in Stuttgart, Metzler International is one of the oldest German eyewear companies. Specializing in the manufacture of high-end frames, the brand has established itself over time as a key player in the European optical sector. During the 1980s and 2000s, Metzler developed sunglasses collections made in Germany, often distributed through specialized opticians. The brand has become synonymous with reliability, durability, and elegant design.
