Union mission and governance

“The Lunetiers du Jura primarily bring together a range of skills in the service of French eyewear, covering all industrial and commercial professions:

• Creation and manufacturing of optical and sun frames
• Manufacturing of protective frames
• Design and manufacturing of eyewear components
• Surface treatments, decoration…
• Manufacturing of accessories (cases, chains, promotional displays…)
• Design and manufacturing of machines.

This network of supportive companies develops over 2,000 new product models each year in the same region, works and innovates for over 100 brands, and produces over 10 million glasses per year, half of which are exported worldwide (40% to the USA-Canada, 45% to Europe, and 10% to Asia). It works closely with the Paris and Oyonnax basins. Despite a significant decrease in its exports, France faces the challenge of increasing Asian competition associated with copies, but remains the sixth-largest global exporter of eyeglass frames.

For the Lunetiers du Jura, the future lies in introducing differentiated products to the market, based on:

• A quality approach resulting from exceptional know-how
• A desire to innovate in both industrial and creative fields
• A strong brand and label policy
• A focus on comfort and products perfectly suited to the consumer, something that low-priced competition is currently unable to provide.”
