Summer gathering: Check. Team: Top. Appenzeller Kontaktlinsen: Passt.
Monthly Letter June 2026
Speicher, 23. June 2026
Dear Madam or Sir
This month, I am using this letter a little differently. Instead of recommending, announcing or explaining something new, I would simply like to share a few impressions from our summer gathering, which we celebrated last Friday here in Speicher. Claudia Kobbert travelled all the way from Frankfurt, Christina Fial from Bavaria. Karolina Keller organised the entire event with such dedication that you almost wonder when she ever takes a break.
Friday evening. No one had to stay. But everyone did – well into the night.
Bernd and I found ourselves having the same thought more than once that evening: Sitting together late into the night on a Friday, and deliberately not talking about contact lenses for once, makes us—quite frankly—feel grateful. And yes, also a little proud.
Here in Speicher, we are fortunate to work with people who are not only professionally driven, continuously improving and passionate about contact lenses, but who also know each other, trust each other and genuinely enjoy working – and spending time – together. That is a real advantage. For us, and ultimately for you.
A team that sticks together addresses issues more quickly, supports one another without hesitation, and collaborates with clarity and precision.
And that shows. In the quality of our work. If there is one thing I would like to leave you with about Appenzeller Contact Lenses, it is perhaps this: At a time when many teams in the market is being reshuffled or are still trying to find their footing, we are able here in Speicher to simply continue doing our work. With consistency.
With a team that continues to grow. And in which everyone has their place.
That may not sound spectacular. But it is exactly what makes innovation possible in the long term.
And that is what ultimately reaches you: Contact lenses that fit.
We hope you enjoy great success with our contact lenses. Best regards, and see you next time.
