OKIA

What OKIA does

OKIA Optical Company Limited is a privately held, Hong Kong-domiciled integrated eyewear service provider founded in 1999 that delivers end-to-end design, materials and technology development, production, and logistics services to global eyewear brands and retail/consumer brands. Its core products are prescription optical glasses and sunglasses manufactured from metallic and plastic materials, complemented by a sustainable product portfolio including Reshape frames made from upcycled water bottles, Bio Lens, Bio Plastics, and Bio Polybag. Operations span a Hong Kong headquarters, a Shenzhen design studio with 15+ in-house designers producing over 100,000 custom concepts, and a vertically integrated manufacturing facility of approximately 29,000 m2 in Vietnam's Thuan Dao Industrial Park equipped with more than 100 cutting-edge machines across acetate, injection, metal, and plating production lines.

OKIA generates revenue primarily through B2B hardware sales of finished eyewear and a professional services layer of custom design and product development billed against multi-year contracts, with no public pricing and pricing negotiated per customer. Its go-to-motion is enterprise field sales supported by an international sales manager, key account engineering, and project management, with direct customer inquiries also accepted via the company website. The customer base is horizontally segmented between global eyewear brands seeking design-to-production manufacturing and retail/consumer brands sourcing sustainable eyewear under their own labels. The Vietnam facility is certified across a 4-pillar compliance framework (SMETA, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISCC), supporting OKIA's positioning with ethically audited global supply chains.

At scale, OKIA ships approximately 9 million eyeglasses per year with a long-term capacity goal of 10 million pairs, sustains a 95%+ on-time delivery rate, and has accumulated 163+ industry awards including multiple Hong Kong Eyewear Design Competition championships and nominations at Silmo d'Or and the German Design Prize. The company is entirely bootstrapped with no external equity funding and is led by Managing Director Jacky Lam.
