Nomen est omen: contact lens manufacturer CooperVision has moved into the Darmstadt building "DAS AUGE"

A perfect symbiosis not only in terms of form

Since the end of April 2025, the contact lens manufacturer CooperVision has arrived exactly where innovation and vision meet: in the ultra-modern office building "DAS AUGE" in Darmstadt - an architectural homage to the human sensory organ and now the new home of the contact lens manufacturer. With the move from Eppertshausen to the city of science with its excellent infrastructure and direct proximity to the technology centers of the Rhine-Main region, the company has created excellent conditions for its operational business and the expansion of its position in the DACH region.

A spatial change had become necessary, as the previous company headquarters no longer met the structural and technical requirements of a modern workplace. The right solution came with the offer to move into the modern Darmstadt office building with its symbolic shape and name. Representative and technologically equipped for the future, with optimal connections to bus, train, airport and the highway network, the new company headquarters meets all business requirements. The team was able to move into the new premises on April 28. The flexible space concept made it possible to unite all departments on a single level - an added bonus for internal communication, which has always been an important part of CooperVision's corporate culture.

"DAS AUGE‛ is a perfect fit for us and our visions, and not just in formal terms. Many attributes of the new premises can also be directly transferred to our contact lens portfolio: technologically innovative, progressively sustainable, with more comfort and all the conditions you could wish for to work in a concentrated, relaxed manner. The move to Darmstadt offers us the opportunity to move closer to the Rhine-Main business center and to expand our leading position in an international environment. A perfect symbiosis that makes us even more attractive as an employer and inspires our entire team," says Andreas Sudrow, Managing Director of CooperVision GmbH. "At the same time, the new location enhances our quality as an international host. Restaurants and hotels are right next door, as are a wide range of leisure, art and cultural activities." CooperVision has been a driving force in the contact lens industry for many decades. Innovative contact lens technologies for virtually every type of visual correction are developed in-house, such as the disposable contact lens "MiSight® 1 day", which was developed specifically for the treatment of juvenile myopia. The broad premium portfolio reflects the many years of expertise that have made the company one of the international market leaders - with excellent visual properties, patented lens designs for maximum wearing comfort and innovative materials for healthy eyes. In close cooperation with its stationary partners - optical retailers and ophthalmologists - CooperVision has turned its contact lens range into a successful, continuously growing segment of the optical care market. All business processes relating to the D-A-CH region are now planned and managed from Darmstadt.
