MILAN Wholesale Buccaneers Shirts , Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- 2015 was an excellent one in the post-economic crisis era for Italy's eyewear sector, industry experts said here on Friday.

At the opening conference of MIDO, the Milan eyewear show which runs from Saturday to Monday, it was announced that in 2015, Italian eyewear production totaled 3.6 billion euros (3.9 billion U.S. dollars), up by 12.5 percent over 2014.

In 2015, there were 870 companies in the country, 0.2 percent more compared to 2014. Exports of frames, sunglasses and lenses, which account for almost 90 percent of production by the sector, rose by 12.3 percent over 2014 to 3.4 billion euros.

The main export market for sunglasses and frames in 2015 remained Europe, with 49 percent share of exports, followed by United States with 30.5 percent and Asia which absorbed 18.2 percent, posting a growth of 14 percent, with China at 42 percent. In terms of suppliers, imports from Asia continued to take the lion's share at 73 percent, figures showed.

The Made in Italy was a driving factor for exports, MIDO president Cirillo Marcolin said. Sophisticated consumers are willing to spend more, so that higher costs for companies are more than offset by the benefits of product image and quality, he noted.

In fact the comeback of Italian production, especially for the very high-end of the market, dubbed "reshoring" or "back to Italy," has been gathering pace even among the large eyewear companies, he pointed out.

"Clients want something that can reflect their personality. Eyeglasses in the course of years have evolved, they continue to have the main function to correct vision and protect from sunlight, but are also an important accessory, a key side of us that we immediately show to others when we meet them," Marcolin told Xinhua.

Marcolin added eyewear companies in Europe have been wrong when looking at China as a place where they could produce their goods more easily because of its low cost of labor. "They did not realize at the beginning that China could potentially be the largest market in the world," he said.

"But now European companies are paying increasing attention to this market, they have also produced collections that are particularly suitable for the Asian customers and represent a sort of Asian style. Many Italian companies are working on this trend and I believe there are a lot of opportunities only waiting to be seized," he added.

This year at its 46th edition, MIDO is among the eyewear industry's most important international events.

Outsourcing has emerged as a feasible strategy to cut cost in matters related to complex tradeoffs. However, it became popular only during the recessionary phase. Subcontract engineering also figures in the same domain. It is also a type of outsourcing, which aims at reducing the overall engineering cost of a firm. In the field of international business, it is considered a kind of technological cooperation between the two parties.

What Is Subcontract Engineering?

Generally, it is a relationship between two firms that is based on partial or complete production of goods and services. To be more specific, it is a situation in which a firm offers a subcontract to another independent body to undertake the processing or full production of a component, part or material as per the given guidelines.

Why Subcontract Engineering?

There may be various reasons for subcontracting a part of your business to some other party. For instance, due to lack of space in your own engineering facility, you may approach a subcontracting firm for developing specific engineering solutions as desired by you. Cost may be another important factor for such a decision. There is every possibility of getting a better deal, which saves both your time and money. Lack of expertise in a particular area may also be an influencing factor behind your decision. Whatever the case may be, many firms have started availing these services.

Who All Provide these Services?

Many companies are engaged in providing subcontracting services. Most of them offer quality services at highly competitive rates. You can get all kinds of specialized services including precision engineering, reverse engineering and other high quality engineering services. A majority of these companies provide engineering support to a large range of industries including defence, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, nuclear, aerospace, motor sport and so on.

How To Select A Subcontracting Firm

While choosing a subcontracting firm, make sure it has a good reputation. Never sacrifice quality for money, though it is great to get the best deal at a reasonable cost. One of the things you should look for while opting for a firm is the quality of its services. At the same time, do not forget to factor in the time that it takes to deliver the projects assigned. For this purpose, having a team of qualified engineers, including a subcontract and precision engineer, is highly essential. Finally, look for whether the firm has enough capacity to meet the requirements of your project. Make sure, it has the latest technology and machinery at its disposal.

Effects Of Modernization

The modernization has had a considerable effect on subcontracting business and subcontracting engineering is not untouched either. Subcontract engineering firms have shown quicker as well as deeper adaptability to the changing world. You should know the fact that subcontracting has become one of the best conditions to achieve quick product development and improved quality as well as productivity. Various surveys show the positive effect of subcontracting on the overall revenues and profits of companies. This is, particularly, relevant with regard to smaller firms. In the globalized world the thrust is on reorganizing the entire research and development (R&D) efforts. .
