Our France Tour in the Eyewear Industry

Company · June 17, 2024

On our three-day workshop-trip we gained excellent impressions and deepened our understanding of eyewear industry in France. We engaged in intensive discussions about future market trends, particularly in the high-end eyewear segment. The exchange of ideas was both stimulating and productive.

OBE presented several innovative components and fashion solutions, which were met with great interest by our hosts. These presentations showcased how our components can be seamlessly integrated into the production process, ensuring more efficient production methods. Additionally, our customizable solutions were received with enthusiasm, reflecting the growing interest in stylish and functional eyewear.

A big thank you to all involved companies Anne Valentine, Baars, Cisneros, Halatsis, Lucal, Navarro, Optisun, Parasite, Roussilhe and Thierry for their time and invaluable contributions.
