Established in July 2008, Explore Scientific LLC was founded to make astronomy, microscopy, and exploration of nature accessible and affordable. The company's brands include EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC, ALPEN, EXPLORE ONE, EXPLORE HUT, and GALILEOSCOPE. Explore Scientific is a distributor of products from BRESSER (Germany) and PULSAR OBSERVATORIES (UK). In addition, Explore Scientific is an official licensee for National Geographic, Discovery, and PBS. Explore Scientific helps the general public experience the adventure, wonder, and excitement of scientific exploration by designing, building, and selling telescopes, spotting scopes, binoculars, and microscopes that are high-quality, durable, and affordable. The company engages its audience through participation in recognition programs, awards, workshops, and expeditions. Explore Scientific branched out into other areas of the optics industry thanks in large part to strategic partnerships. In 2009, we began a mutually beneficial relationship with BRESSER, a Germany-based company that has grown since its 1957 inception to become a leader in Europe's optics industry. Through this collaboration, Explore Scientific became the exclusive distributor of BRESSER products throughout the Americas and expanded our offerings to include binoculars, microscopes, riflescopes, laser rangefinders, game cameras and other instruments for both outdoor sports and science enthusiasts. The present-day business structure has changed with Explore Scientific LLC becoming a wholly owned subsidiary with USA ownership under Journey North. Today's 60,000 square foot operation in Springdale, Arkansas include sales, design, marketing, distribution, and light manufacturing. With its sharp growth trajectory and multi-national design group we continue to advance the standards of consumer optics with our proven technology and application competence along with our resources in China, Germany and the US.
