In Greek mythology, there is a mountain where immortals live. It is called Mount Olympus. Olympus is the name of the company on this mountain. It embodies Olympus's eager desire to "make products that can be used all over the world".
As early as the beginning of the company-the era of "Gao Qianhu Manufacturing Co., Ltd.", the trademark "Olympus" began to be used as a trademark. In Japanese mythology, it is said that there is a paradise "Gao Tianyuan" where 8 million immortals live in Gaoqianhu Mountain. This trademark was introduced by connecting with the mountain where the immortals lived-the "Olympus Mountain" where the immortals lived in Greek mythology 12. This trademark contains a good wish to introduce the light-based products of Olympus optical equipment to the world, just like Gao Tianyuan's bright world.
