    Starting a Frame Company

    Have you personally or someone you know started a frame company? How did that go? I would think its hard to start off because everyone is established with the lines they carry in their office so actually putting them into an optical shop would seem impossible.

    My father had a metal frame company in 1985. He was working very well for around 10, but then things started to go downwards very fast. His frames were extremely good quality, but as he was an engineer, he didn't know what marketing even was. He closed it circa 2000 and we still have all the machines in the workshop.
