With its umbrella brand “small but fine”, OUNDA is a leader in traditional optometry and acoustics. The community includes 110 independent specialist shops throughout Germany (as of January 2023), which have been well established locally for years or even decades, as well as 670 employees. However, all associated companies are explicitly not “small but fine” branches, but part of a traditionally managed group in which the identities and peculiarities of the individual locations are preserved. In addition to the core business of classic ophthalmic optics and hearing acoustics, “small but fine” is increasingly dedicated to niche topics such as optometry or myopia management. At the heart of OUNDA’s growth strategy is continuous M&A activity in a fragmented premium optician market that enables careful selection of high-quality targets.
