Essilor owns Crizal and Alize and now can be applied to almost any lense, a couple years ago it could only be applied to varulix.
Satis is a company that develops formulas for many companies. They will create a formula for you and I and we can have our own A/R, name it what we want and have it developed to be applied to lenses we want it to go on. They also owns the machines fresh out of their R&D to work with the A/R we have had them to develop for us. Now you and I shall be in the A/R business, we put these machine in as many labs as we can (or ones that can afford them and want to do their own a/r). Some labs have several A/R set-ups. They may have Essilors and also have Zeiss. Satis has created many well known A/R's (but never for Hoya) As far as I know Hoya Super Hi-Vision is the only A/R that is designed for Hoya lenses only.
All A/R is applied in a lab.
