Suzhou, Jiangsu
Our swim goggle factory in Suzhou, Jiangsu
Design and engineering
Industrial design and CAD engineering of the frame, lens, gasket and headband as one assembly, with manufacturability reviewed before tooling.
Mold-making and tooling
Production molds, jigs and assembly fixtures are made and trialed in-house, so changes found in trials go straight back to the toolmakers.
Injection molding
Lenses, frames and other components are injection-molded in-house. Lenses run on Japanese all-electric injection molding machines, with process settings fixed during mold trials.
Anti-fog and mirror coating
Hydrophilic anti-fog coatings are applied to the inner lens, and mirror finishes are applied on our own vacuum-coating line.
Assembly
Lens, gasket, nosepiece and headband are assembled to the approved specification, including logo printing for private label programs.
Inspection and packaging
In-process and final inspection against the agreed quality plan, then packing into your retail or bulk packaging.
The same facility produces adult, junior and kids’ swim goggles, packed individually or in multipacks, so a brand can source a full range from one manufacturer. Tell us which categories and quantities you plan to source and we will assess the program with you.
How we work with brands
Confidential development for your brand
- Choose the route. Private label builds on a catalog model; OEM manufactures to your design; ODM develops a new design from your brief.
- Agree the terms first. Confidentiality, design rights and tooling ownership are set out in the supply agreement before development starts.
- Review at each stage. Concepts, CAD, prototypes and trial samples are approved by your team before the next stage begins.
- Check the evidence. Factory certificates and product test reports are shared with their stated scope, so your quality team knows exactly what each covers.
