EYEVAN Inc. is pleased to announce that as of July 17, 2024, Sanko Kogaku Co., Ltd., located in Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, will become a member of the EYEVAN Group.
With the concept of “Eyewear for dressing as a fashion accessory”, we have been providing high- quality and high-value eyewear brand, EYEVAN, and we celebrated the 50th anniversary of our brand in 2022, based on the craftsmanship of Sabae, a world-class eyewear production center.
It is a proud turning point for us to form a partnership with Sanko Kogaku, a company that has been passionately engaged in eyeglass manufacturing in Sabae since its establishment in 1923 and has skilled masters in the field.
When EYEVAN was born in 1972, we created the first collection together with Sanko Kogaku, and we feel a fateful connection to be able to collaborate again after about 50 years. At the same time, we have extraordinary determination.
While Sabae has established a global reputation for “Made in Sabae”, the region still faces many challenges as a production area, including a decline in the number of craftsmen due to aging, a lack of successors, and the difficulty of securing profits due to rising material costs.
In this environment, how do we pass on this production region that has 100 years of history to the next generation? How do we present our craftsmanship, backed by technology and sensibility, to the world? As Japan’s first eyewear brand, EYEVAN will do what it has to do. We will continue to be a pioneer that paves the way to the future.
“MADE IN SABAE”, and with “SANKO QUALITY”,
EYEVAN’s new story begins.
“Together with SANKO QUALITY, we will open up the future of eyewear.” “Bringing the production area into the future. Sabae to the world”
With this in mind, the EYEVAN Group will continue to forge ahead as a unified group.
First of all, I would like to extend my greetings to you and hope that you will continue to support the EYEVAN Group including Sanko Kogaku Co., Ltd. in the future.
Sincerely,
Noriyuki Yamamoto
President and CEO
