Founded in Japan by Kaoru Horikawa as a manufacturer of optical spare parts, more than 60 years later, the Charmant Group, is a leading multi-national corporation for fashionable eyewear products dedicated to top quality, innovative design and cutting-edge style.
It all began in 1956 with the production of the first spectacle parts and the introduction of innovative improvements to manufacturing technologies.
In 1975 Charmant expanded its activities through the development of its own brands and products. The direct sales system, the first of its kind within the optical industry, soon turned the Charmant Group into a thriving high quality frames manufacturer.
In 1980, when the firm began working with titanium, a new phase began for Charmant and a change occurred in the optical industry's perception of the company. |
