Manufacturing

Vertical Integration from Lozzo di Cadore

Three Production Lines

One Integrated Engineering & Production Standard

IOVES operates a state-of-the-art eyewear facility in the heart of the Cadore manufacturing district. We deliver end-to-end control across cellulose acetate, precision metal, and TR-90 injection lines.

For global distributors, optical retail chains, and luxury labels, maintaining brand reputation requires absolute production continuity. By consolidating concept styling, tooling, component manufacturing, automated assembly, and hand-finishing under one roof, our facility eliminates external supply-chain friction and preserves Italian craftsmanship at industrial scale.

Design & Product Engineering

From Creative Concept to Industrial Scalability

Our internal engineering division collaborates directly with client design teams to convert aesthetic visions into technically viable, durable, and comfortable optical frames and sunglasses.

Every prototype undergoes structural stress simulation, pantoscopic angle calibration, and hinge endurance testing before cutting production tooling, safeguarding mass production runs from ergonomic defects.

Material Expertise

Core Eyewear Manufacturing Lines

With continuous investment in multi-axis CNC machines and automated injection lines, IOVES guarantees micron-level tolerance across diverse eyewear materials.

Premium Italian cellulose acetate sheet cutting and CNC machining
Line 01 / Cellulose Acetate

Precision CNC Acetate Machining

Milled from aged premium cotton-based cellulose acetate slabs to ensure maximum dimensional stability and eliminate post-assembly warping. Our multi-stage tumbling process utilizes natural birch wood pegs and pumice compounds over 72 hours to achieve an authentic, mirror-like Italian hand polish.

Ideal for high-end optical frames and designer sunglasses demanding complex laminations, custom core wires, and rich depth of color.

High precision TR-90 injection molded eyewear frames
Line 02 / Polymers & TR-90

Advanced Grilamid TR-90 Injection

Designed for high-performance activewear and lightweight everyday collections, our injection molding technology utilizes Swiss Grilamid TR-90 and eco-friendly bio-polyamides. Ultra-precise steel mold tooling yields uniform wall thickness, zero stress fractures, and extreme memory flex.

Allows complex wrap-around geometries, high impact resistance, and flawless paint adhesion for sport sunglasses and accessible volume collections.

Handcrafted metal eyewear wire bending, soldering and plating
Line 03 / Metal Alloys

Metal Profiling & Micro-Soldering

Utilizing aerospace-grade monel, stainless steel, and titanium alloys. Computer-controlled wire bending machines and micro-induction brazing ensure robust joint strength without visible slag or surface distortion.

Components are treated with hypoallergenic galvanic coatings and durable PVD finishes to protect against perspiration corrosion, saltwater exposure, and UV degradation.

B2B Standards

Rigorous Quality Assurance

We act as direct technical stewards for your brand. All production lots leaving Lozzo di Cadore satisfy the strict legal frameworks of global optical markets.

Testing

Mechanical Endurance

Hinges endure over 20,000 cyclical open-close movements; bridge deformation tests verify structural recovery and lens retention under mechanical loads.

Materials

Chemical & Skin Safety

All surface coatings conform to EU REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, EN ISO 12870 nickel release standards, and California Proposition 65 requirements.

Optical

Lens & Frame Alignment

100% laser-assisted horizontal and vertical axis verification ensures exact prescription lens seating, preventing unintended astigmatic distortion.
