Allied Impex Corporation was founded by Four German Jews who fled to America after the rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party. Victor and Ben Silverman were the owners. Bruno Multer handled Finances. The final original founder was Ralph Lowenstein, who was much younger than the other three men. Once the company began making money, a second entity, known as AIC Photo, Inc., was founded to act as the parent corporation with Allied Impex becoming the import/export company.

The word "Impex" is believed to be a contraction of "Import Export". From 1956, AIC Photo, Inc. began using the brand name Soligor for cameras, lenses and accessories imported from Japan.

The company founded a German sub-company called A.I.C. Phototechnik GmbH in 1968, that became Soligor GmbH in 1993.
