By Laura Shirk

Marcolin, leading group in eyewear, has finalized the acquisition of ic! berlin GmbH, an independent eyewear manufacturer established in Berlin in 1996.

A multi-award-winning company for the design of its creations – including the Silmo d’Or award – ic! berlin carries out in-house design, prototyping, manufacturing and assembling of its luxury sunglasses and optical frames. Marcolin will take full control of the company, integrating within its organization approximately 140 employees located at the Berlin headquarters, and manufacturing plant, and in two subsidiaries in Japan and United States.

The acquisition is part of Marcolin’s strategy to enhance its expertise in metal manufacturing and broaden its luxury portfolio, a segment with huge potential, while also strengthening its market positioning in key areas, such as Asia and Europe.

ic! berlin officially becomes one of Marcolin’s house brands, along with WEB EYEWEAR, strengthening a strategic segment for the company.
