Our history
Aimpoint® is one of few large international companies in the optical industry that can trace its origin to a toilet roll.
It all started in 1974, when technician and inventor Arne Ekstrand wanted to improve his accuracy on moving targets during hunting and while on the shooting range. The idea of a red dot sight was hatched when Arne stood and shaved in front of the mirror and saw that the light reflection on the wall behind him did not move, regardless of whether he was moving his head or not. Arne got an idea and started sketching a concept that resulted in a prototype based on an empty toilet roll.
Arne Ekstrand himself did not have the financial strength to take the project further. Instead, he contacted visionary and entrepreneur Gunnar Sandberg from the company ElektroSandberg.
