OBE presents new hinges at Mido 2024 in Milan

OBE, key global supplier of eyewear components, presented its latest products at MIDO 2024 in Milan from February 3rd to 5th. The highlights included the new spring hinge “InflexIno” for 3D printed and injected glasses frames as well as innovative hinges on wire-like the new Velvet – designed with a distinctive surface and available with a wide range of possible combinations for the front of the glasses.

"In addition to our universal solution for smart glasses “smartlink”, we also presented the first studies of a maintenance-free magnetic hinge, called Polepower."

More than 200 visitors visited the stand and celebrated the company's 120th anniversary with us. As usual, there was the always highly valued German beer!

We are already looking forward to MIDO 2025!
