A family run business for more than 30 years, Konus was founded in 1979 by Giuseppe Alberti and began as a general optics company, manufacturing telescopes, microscopes and binoculars for educational, professional and personal use. It was almost 20 years later that Alberti met Mark Shore - an American executive in the hunting category - on a flight and got to talking about the business, how hunting is often passed down through generations as a tradition, and of course, the type of optics used on various types of hunts. Alberti certainly understood family traditions and optics was part of that, so he immediately decided to expand the Konus brand into the hunting and shooting category.
Today, Konus specializes in creating high-quality optics at an exceptional value to hunters and shooters worldwide.
