F&W FREY & WINKLER

F&W Frey & Winkler specialised in the production of nose pads for the worldwide spectacles industry. Whereas those parts originally consisted of cellulose acetate and soft PVC, F&W started, after a relatively short development phase, in 1982 the industrial production of such parts made of silicone rubber. For this purpose a well-known German material supplier even developed a special silicone type, which was characterized by the highest possible transparency. Until today those components are pa... rt of the portfolio of high quality products and meanwhile more than 1 Billion spectacles have been equipped with that new pad. Driven by the expectation that the transfer of the labour–intensive spectacle industry to low-wage countries would lead to a decrease of market shares, F&W early and intensively turned to capture other branches. Nowadays F&W supplies parts to the medical technology as well as to a range of other industries. These are injection molding parts, made of different kinds of materials, concentrating on silicone. The current focus is the expansion of the production of 2K–parts by using silicone rubber. May a lot of values have changed during the company’s history, the quality of our products will ever be the main topic of all our activities.More
