At OCENEO, every pair of glasses is born from a strong commitment: to create sustainable, responsible, and deeply human objects. To achieve this vision, we made a radical but necessary choice: to internalize 100% of our manufacturing process. Here's why this choice changes everything—for you, for the planet, and for us.
1. Control our ecological footprint
Outsourcing manufacturing often also means delegating environmental responsibility. By insourcing every step—from neoprene grinding to final assembly—we control every gram of material and every kWh expended.
Waste optimization
Reduction of transport
Carefully chosen energies
2. Guarantee quality, every pair
Our glasses don't come off an impersonal production line. They pass through the hands of trained, dedicated, and often passionate people.
From the first casting to the hand finishing, nothing is left to chance.
ISO tests carried out internally
Precise control of strength and comfort
Zero tolerance for manufacturing defects
3. Innovate without compromise
Having our machines, our molds, our material and our team on site means having the freedom to experiment without delay.
Want a special edition? We can launch it. Got an improvement to test? We'll try it tomorrow morning.
Internalization also means responsiveness in the service of innovation.
4. Promote local and human resources
Our workshop isn't a factory on the other side of the world. It's a place where everyone knows why they make these glasses: to give meaning back to the object, and to participate in a different way of producing.
Creation of local employment
Craftsmanship
Transmission of skills
5. Remain independent and true to our values
At OCENEO, we don't want to depend on a service provider or an industrial logic that would impose its deadlines, costs, or compromises.
By keeping control over everything, we retain the freedom to do things well, even if it is slower, more demanding, or less “profitable” on paper.
In summary
Internalizing isn't just a logistical decision. It's an act of activism.
It’s choosing to do things differently, to do things better.
And that's what makes each pair of OCENEO glasses unlike any other.
