One Workshop, One Standard.
Most factories will quote your frame. Fewer will build it the way you'd build it yourself. CIC is a single team, working two facilities to one standard — patented techniques, full in-house production, and a partner-side lead who answers directly.
What Sets Us Apart.
- 01
Patented techniques
Push-Thru pressing and stone-inlay are our own patents (ZL 2015 1 0558145.8 · ZL 2016 1 0168786.7). Effects you can't get from a generic line.
- 02
100% in-house
Cutting, wire-core shooting, lamination, plating, polishing, assembly — all under our own roof. No subcontracting, ever.
- 03
Two factories, one standard
Heyuan for precision and core-client work; Bangkok for scale and tariff resilience. Same Chinese CIC team, same tolerances at both.
- 04
Design & engineering on staff
A six-person studio and engineers across acetate, metal and titanium. CAD turnaround averages three to four working days.
- 05
100% per-frame QC
Every frame is inspected against tracer, bench alignment and surface finish before it ships. Zero-defect is the target.
- 06
Sustainable materials
Italian and ISCC PLUS mass-balance acetate. Our Push-Thru pressing is acetone-free — fewer solvents than traditional lamination.
