Co-Creation Workshop with Our French Eyewear Partner

Company · January 16, 2026

On the 12th & 13th or January, we had the pleasure of welcoming Morel, one of our key customers from France to our headquarters for an intensive co-creation workshop. As a leading manufacturer of hinges for the eyewear industry, we strongly believe that the best solutions are developed in close collaboration with our partners.

During the visit, our teams worked together in a joint brainstorming session to explore new ideas, technical approaches and design concepts for future hinge solutions. From initial concepts to manufacturing feasibility, the workshop provided valuable insights and opened new perspectives on innovative product development.
In addition, our guest was given an in-depth tour of our production facilities, gaining first-hand impressions of our processes, technologies and quality standards.

The visit once again highlighted the importance of partnership, trust and open dialogue in developing customized and future-oriented solutions for the eyewear industry. We would like to thank our partner for the inspiring exchange and look forward to continuing our successful collaboration.
