Dibble picks up Rodenstock line

Dibble Optical has been appointed as sole distributor for Rodenstock instruments which were previously distributed by Buchmann.

The change of channel for the German ophthalmic instrument maker follows the decision of Buchmann to de-emphasise the brand last year following its acquisition.

Founder Barry Dibble said he was delighted to bring the Rodenstock brand back to the UK. 'I have worked with these precision-engineered products since 1989 and respect the Rodenstock brand immensely. I am really pleased with the decision of the German-based company to award the distribution agreement to my company,' he said.

Dibble Optical supplies edging machinery, workshop consumables and practice accessories from B&S and the Miraflex range of children's frames.
