What Huvitz does

Huvitz Corp. is a South Korean medical equipment manufacturer headquartered in Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, that designs and produces ophthalmic and optometric diagnostic devices, automated lens edging equipment, and digital dental solutions. The company operates three core product portfolios. The Ophthalmology & Optometry portfolio includes optical coherence tomography systems (HOCT-1/1F and OCTavius with 80,000 scans/sec), optical biometers (HBM-1), corneal topographers (HTG-1, HRKT-1), auto refractors and keratometers, digital refractors, fundus cameras, slit lamps, tonometers, perimeters, lensmeters, and data management software (HIIS-1, HDR MATE, HRK MATE). The Lens Edging Solutions portfolio spans premium edgers (HPE-990 with world-first Deep Step Bevel technology capable of 20mm depth processing), mid-range and standard edgers, auto blockers (HAB-910, HAB-8000X, HBK-410), manual blockers, a standalone drilling machine (HDM-8000), frame tracers (HFR-8000X with 16,000-point 3D scanning), and the HERA Instraworks network solution. The Dental portfolio includes the OCTiX intraoral OCT scanner, Lilivis SCAN/MILL/PRINT line, and L-CAD/L-CAM software.

Huvitz generates revenue primarily through hardware sales via officially certified distributors across 114 countries, complemented by direct sales through its headquarters and a Daegu branch office for domestic Korean customers. 90.3% of 2024 revenue was generated from overseas markets. The company supplements hardware revenue with optional paid software for OCT devices and the HERA Instraworks network solution for lens edging equipment. Pricing is consultation-based through certified distributors rather than transparently listed, with professional installation and user training included post-purchase. R&D personnel constitute 33% of total workforce, supporting continuous product innovation.

The company serves eye care professionals and clinics (ophthalmologists, optometrists), optical shops and lens processing laboratories, and dental clinics and dental labs. Huvitz holds #1 domestic and #3 global market share in ref-keratometers and was first-to-market in South Korea for both non-contact tonometers and all-in-one retinal tomography (HOCT). Distribution spans 114 countries with documented product launches continuing through January 2026, indicating sustained R&D output and a globally diversified customer base with no disclosed anchor customer concentration.
