Pacific Artisan Labs: Leading the Way in Innovation and Expansion

Pacific Artisan Labs (PAL), a proud member of the Artisan Lab Network (ALN) and located in Portland, OR, has recently made some major strides in solidifying its position as one of the nation's top independent laboratories. PAL has successfully doubled its production capacity, proving its commitment to meeting the increasing demand for its exceptional products.

Not content with simply keeping up with the competition, PAL has gone above and beyond by investing in the most advanced Schneider Optical Machines automated equipment available in the industry. This places PAL on par with even the largest corporate labs in the country, allowing it to deliver unmatched quality and efficiency to its customers.

“We’ve been fortunate enough to grow at an incredible pace the past few years, putting us in a position to expand our labs’ capacity and capabilities”. Stated Brandon Butler, President and CEO. “The faith and trust our customers have in PAL to deliver unmatched quality and service is remarkable and we fully intend to continue our trajectory towards being the nation’s top independent laboratory by volume and service level”.

But that's not all. PAL is proud to announce that starting in July 2024, it will begin producing Varilux products in-house. This strategic move not only expands PAL's product offerings but also positions the company as a versatile and comprehensive provider within the ophthalmic lens market.

With PAL's diverse portfolio, which includes renowned brands such as Tokai, Hoya, IOT, Neurolens, Shamir, BluTech, Unity, and now Varilux, customers have access to an extensive range of lens designs tailored to meet the unique needs of their private practices. PAL's dedication to offering the latest innovations reflects its commitment to supporting eye care professionals in delivering outstanding patient care.

Furthermore, PAL sets itself apart with its unique lab equity model. As the largest independent doctor-owned network of labs ever assembled in the US, PAL leads the way in empowering eye care professionals to take ownership of their practices and meet the challenges of an evolving industry. Following the success of Pacific Artisan Labs, the Artisan Lab Network expanded its reach with the launch of Peak Artisan Labs in Aurora, CO in July of 2023. Additionally, ALN has formed a partnership with Independent Optical Lab in Greensboro, NC, further strengthening its network.

Exciting things are on the horizon for ALN as it embarks on the construction of a groundbreaking "mega lab" in Roselle, IL. This state-of-the-art facility will not only drive innovation and efficiency but also provide an exceptional platform for ALN's doctor equity members to thrive. With half of the ownership group already lined up, ALN eagerly invites new doctor equity members to join this exciting venture.
