What Onika does

ONIKA is a French B2B manufacturer of eyewear accessories, headquartered in Annecy and operating since 1991 as a privately held Société à responsabilité limitée (SARL) with €100,000 registered share capital. The company manufactures and commercializes what it describes as the broadest range of eyewear accessories on the market, including rigid, semi-rigid, and flexible eyeglass cases, microfiber lens wipes (including the eco-friendly GreenTECH 70 line made from 70% recycled polyester), spray cleaners, pre-moistened cleaning wipes, anti-fog products, prescription swimming goggles under the CAIMAN brand, and touchless hygiene keys under ONIKLEAN+. The portfolio is organized across nine sub-brands covering both functional cleaning and case categories and adjacent accessory categories.

The company sells primarily to French optical retailers and eyewear professionals through a professional-only B2B e-commerce platform (onika.com), with pricing gated behind account registration. ONIKA's enterprise customers include all major French optical chains — ATOL, KRYS, LISSAC, OPTIC 2000, ECOUTER VOIR, COLLECTIF DES LUNETIERS, LYNX, and LES OPHTA — with extensive co-branding and customization services offered across virtually every product line. The company employs 11-50 people, appears to be founder/family-owned with David Kaim serving as director of publication, and operates without institutional investment, recorded acquisitions, or disclosed geographic expansion beyond France.
