Precision Optical Group

P.O.G. Labs

Discover the Precision Advantage

We are a full service laboratory, founded by Mike Tamerius and Matt Somers in 1992. We started our business on a hunch and a handshake, and for seventeen years, we’ve made and kept one simple promise to our customers: provide the highest quality product, turn it around fast, and do it at the lowest possible price. Keeping that promise has allowed us to grow from a two person operation in southwest Iowa to one of the largest independently owned wholesale labs in the nation. This year we added a lab in Denver and partnered with a lab in the Detroit area, forming P.O.G. Labs. We offer customized pricing that meets your needs - not ours. Our management team has over 150 years of experience in the optical industry, and we’ll work hard every day to earn and keep your business. Simply put, we’d like to be your one-stop optical shop.
