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.
