SILMO Paris 2026 Preview: Hisight Eyewear Returns for a Fourth Consecutive Year

Hisight Eyewear is returning to SILMO Paris in 2026, marking our fourth consecutive year at the show since our first participation in 2023.

From September 25–28, 2026, visitors can find the Hisight team at Paris Nord Villepinte, Hall 7B, Booth 7B261.

This year, we look forward to reconnecting with existing partners and meeting eyewear brands, retailers, importers, distributors and product teams developing their next collections.

The conversations in Paris will focus on the areas that matter most when turning an eyewear idea into a commercially viable product: OEM/ODM development, materials and construction, sampling, production consistency, scalable manufacturing and more responsible material applications.

Four Consecutive Years at SILMO Paris

Hisight first exhibited at SILMO Paris in 2023. In 2026, we return for a fourth consecutive year.

For us, returning to SILMO is about more than maintaining a presence at an industry event. It creates an opportunity to meet the people behind eyewear projects in person — to understand what brands are developing, what sourcing teams are looking for and where manufacturing requirements are changing.

Over the same period, Hisight has continued to expand the operations behind those projects.

Our France representative office was established in 2025 to provide closer communication and local sales support for European customers. In the same year, Hisight also launched its first overseas manufacturing base in Indonesia, focused on sunglasses production.

SILMO Paris 2026 therefore comes at a different stage of our development: with a broader manufacturing network, closer European customer support and a growing focus on responsible material development.

What Buyers Can Discuss with Hisight at SILMO Paris 2026

Every eyewear project starts differently.

Some buyers arrive with a finished technical drawing or an existing reference sample. Others are building a new seasonal collection and need support turning an early concept or product brief into a production-ready frame.

At SILMO Paris 2026, our team will be available to discuss projects at different stages of development.

OEM and ODM Eyewear Development

Hisight supports both OEM and ODM eyewear programs.

OEM projects can begin from a customer's drawings, technical files, reference samples or design brief. ODM development can start from existing designs, molds or components and then be adapted around the requirements of the collection.

For custom development, our teams review areas such as frame structure, materials, dimensions, lenses, hinges, branding, packaging and production feasibility before moving into sampling.

This allows the conversation to begin with the product itself rather than a fixed catalog.

Materials, Construction and Customization

Material choice affects more than appearance. It influences frame construction, weight, finishing, manufacturing route and the overall positioning of the collection.

Hisight works across materials including acetate, metal, titanium, PC, CP, TR90, G850 and selected sustainable materials such as Carbonite™.

Depending on the project, buyers can also discuss customization across frame shape and dimensions, colors, lenses, logo applications, selected components and retail packaging.

At SILMO, these conversations can start from a new idea, an existing frame or a collection that needs further development for commercial production.

Sampling and Production Planning

A successful sample is only useful if the approved specifications can be carried into bulk production.

Hisight's quality system covers incoming inspection, in-process inspection and final inspection, supported by in-house testing capabilities during product development and production.

For buyers preparing new launches or repeat programs, our team can discuss sampling requirements, tooling, production schedules, quality checkpoints and how approved references are carried forward into manufacturing.

The objective is not simply to produce a sample, but to create a clear production reference for the order that follows.

A Manufacturing Network Built Around Eyewear Projects

Behind every development conversation is the manufacturing system required to make it repeatable.

Hisight operates across China, Indonesia and Europe, connecting product development, manufacturing and customer support across different markets.

Our Wenzhou manufacturing headquarters integrates product development, multi-material production, surface treatment, assembly, quality inspection, warehousing, laboratory testing and sample presentation within one site.

Our Tangerang, Indonesia manufacturing base focuses on sunglasses and covers major stages including injection, surface treatment, assembly, lens processing and packaging.

The Shanghai office connects design, international sales and project operations, while our France representative office supports closer communication with European customers.

Together, these locations support projects from early development and sampling through production, quality control and delivery.

For buyers evaluating an eyewear manufacturing partner at SILMO Paris 2026, this is one of the main conversations we want to have: not only what a frame can look like, but how it can be developed and manufactured consistently at commercial scale.

Exploring More Responsible Materials for Eyewear

Responsible material development will also be part of our conversations in Paris.

Through our work with Regenesis Materials, Hisight continues to explore recycled and lower-impact material technologies that can be engineered into real eyewear applications.

Our role in that process is focused on the eyewear itself: how a material works with the frame structure, product requirements, sampling process and manufacturing route.

A material does not become a viable eyewear solution through an environmental claim alone. It still needs to meet the design, fit and production requirements of the frame.

That is why Hisight's approach to sustainable eyewear places greater emphasis on material information, product engineering, traceability and supporting documentation, rather than broad sustainability claims.

At SILMO Paris 2026, brands exploring more responsible eyewear programs can speak with our team about how material choices connect with actual product development and manufacturing requirements.

Who Should Meet Hisight at SILMO Paris 2026?

We particularly look forward to meeting teams working on upcoming eyewear programs, including:

• Eyewear brands
• Fashion and lifestyle brands
• Optical retailers and retail groups
• Importers and distributors
• Product development teams
• Sourcing and purchasing teams
• Teams developing sustainable eyewear programs

These audiences also align directly with Hisight's core objectives for SILMO: connecting with established eyewear brands, retailers, importers, distributors, product development teams, purchasing teams and sustainability-focused partners.

Whether you are starting from a technical drawing, improving an existing product, developing a seasonal collection or evaluating a new manufacturing partner, the conversation can begin with your current project requirements.
