Pulsar History
Major Milestones in Optics Technology
The Pulsar brand was first introduced in 2008. In the short years that followed, Pulsar is credited with making the digital revolution a reality for the night vision industry and is now the global leader of night vision for outdoor and security markets. However, the story of Pulsar has humble origins going back to 1991, when a group of engineers had the audacity to start manufacturing wooden spotting scopes in a basement just when the people of their country were emerging from the oppression of the Soviet Union. Things were difficult in the early years but the engineers were a dedicated team that dreamed of making devices that would enhance the lives of people by allowing them to see and experience wonderful things.
In 1998, it was the combination of two companies, Belarusian and American, which started to gain significant momentum in the optics industry. Then by the end of the following year, the company was producing modern spotting scopes and binoculars that were selling well in Europe and the United States. In 1999, the company started making their first night vision devices. The strategy was clear then as it is now; to invest in the people and technology to create the most advanced optical systems in the world. Following this philosophy, many accomplishments were made in a short period.
