Toni Belloni, Group Managing Director of the LVMH group, Jean Baptiste Voisin, Chief Strategy Officer of the LVMH group, and Giovanni Zoppas, CEO of Thélios, officially opened this key building for the Group, conceived of as a place of excellence for the eyewear sector.

Launched in 2017, Thélios is a joint venture combining LVMH and Marcolin’s expertise, as two groups brought together over their same vision for the future of eyewear. The company employs 245 people from all over the world, with 100 of them at its Manifattura.

Thanks to the alliance of cutting-edge technologies with unique expertise, the Manifattura Thélios forms a complete and flexible production tool that ensures integral product monitoring, from the initial creative brief to the 3D design, prototyping and final production.

“Italy is a strategic country for the LVMH group. The Manifattura Thélios is proof of the high investment the Group has in favour of Italian economic heritage and its development,” said Toni Belloni, Group Managing Director of the LVMH group

“With the Manifattura Thélios, we aim to anticipate the future while showcasing our long-standing expertise. This project combines our taste for top quality products with our respect for a cultural heritage essential to the region,” confirmed Giovanni Zoppas, Chairman and CEO of Thélios.

For the conception of this new building, Thélios chose the Designgroup Architetti Associati architect's office, which developed this Manifattura around corten and different bay windows to offer an ideal and innovative work-space over 8,000 m². The building is also considered durable and environmentally responsible, featuring over 2,300 solar panels installed on the roof.

Thélios is already collaborating with the Maisons Céline, Loewe and FRED.

About Thélios

Thélios is born from the will of the LVMH group, world leader in luxury, to penetrate the eyewear sector and the expertise of Marcolin Group in the creation of unique frames that can faithfully combine Italian design and craftsmanship with the core values of each House. Synthesis of the names of the Greek gods Theia, goddess of light and sight, and Helios, god of the sun, Thélios covers the entire eyewear production cycle, dealing with the design, production and worldwide distribution of sunglasses and optical frames for some of the Houses within the LVMH portfolio. As an emblem of quality and excellence at every level, in the product as well as in the service, in communication, and in distribution, Thélios offers its own 'enlightened look' on the sector.
