A New Chapter for Romanian Eyewear Retailer Lensa
Hey there! Let's discuss the latest shake-up in the Romanian eyewear market. Romanian eyewear retailer Lensa has bagged some new investors, including OH Holding Limited and ATM Ventures, as announced by Ziarul Financiar and Profit.ro.

He is the brainchild behind Luxoptica, a medical optics retailer giant in Eastern Europe. Plus, he's the owner of the Dobrobut chain of hospitals and clinics.
According to Kalashnikov, their group plans to help Lensa's management team in delivering top-notch ophthalmic care, not just in Romania, but across the regional market as well.
ATM Ventures, the investment arm of Autonom group co-founders Marius and Dan Ştefan, also hopped on board as a financial partner. This investment powerhouse boasts a diverse portfolio covering over 30 growth-stage investments in Romanian companies.
Dan Ştefan, managing partner at ATM Ventures, shared his excitement over the investment, calling Lensa an extraordinary Romanian brand with a dedicated team. He believes the strategic investor will give it the boost it needs to reach the next level.
originally founded 12 years ago, Lensa has established itself as a colossus in the Romanian optical retail market. As of now, it operates 94 physical locations, which range from 87 stores scattered across 38 cities in Romania, six outlets in Chișinău, Republic of Moldova, and one shop in Sofia, Bulgaria.
With this power duo joining forces, Lensa is geared up to keep soaring in the optical retail sector, both locally and in the region. Keep an eye on this rising star!
