ABB Optical Group is marking a significant milestone as it celebrates 35 years of service in the optical industry. Founded in 1989 by Angel Alvarez, the company has been at the forefront of industry evolution, adapting to changes and providing invaluable support to independent eyecare professionals (IECPs). The company has been active in Canada since June 2020.
Since its beginnings, ABB has maintained a steadfast commitment to supporting IECPs. The company’s core mission has been to help these professionals attract and retain patients, improve efficiency, and increase profitability. This commitment is reflected in the company’s philosophy that its success is directly tied to the success of its clients. “For over 30 years, our commitment has been to help eye care professionals attract and keep patients, improve efficiencies and increase profitability. We win when they win. When they lose a patient, we lose a patient. It has always been central.” said Angel Alvarez. ABB’s efforts have notably empowered independent practitioners, who represent a significant portion of the eye exam market, by utilizing the collective volume of thousands of IECPs to enhance their competitive edge.
Under the leadership of President James Gilchrist, ABB Optical Group continues to build on this legacy. The company provides a comprehensive suite of products, services, and solutions that ensure IECPs maintain their competitive edge. By offering single-source convenience, access to data insights, and enhanced services, ABB stands out due to its genuine independence. “Through our competitive suite of products, services and solutions, we help eye care professionals maintain their edge. We offer single-source convenience, access and choice, data and business insights and enhanced services. Our commitment to being authentically independent sets us apart. We can’t win unless our IECP customers are winning.” said James Gilchrist. This unique position allows ABB to focus on supporting IECPs without the conflicts of interest faced by vertically and horizontally integrated competitors.
Looking ahead, ABB Optical Group remains dedicated to staying authentically independent and addressing the unique challenges faced by eye care providers. The company’s future plans include integrating its capabilities with key partners to provide unparalleled support to IECPs. As it celebrates 35 years of success, ABB Optical Group continues to share strategies and innovations with its accounts, reinforcing its dedication to the growth and success of independent eye care professionals.
