“We’ve worked to innovate and update this
hinge, creating an entirely fresh concept of
our fleur-de-lis impressed within the hinge for
an extra spark of style and ingenuity.”
WESTGROUPE
At WestGroupe, the design depart-
ment is always on the lookout for
new spring hinges, materials and
manufacturing processes in order
to create the best product possible.
“From a manufacturing standpoint,
evolutions in laser technology has
enabled us to incorporate laser
solder into most of our collec-
tions, which allows for a cleaner
and stronger solder, leading to less
breakage,” says Beverly Suliteanu,
vice-president of product develop-
ment.
“On the colour front, new processes
in digital printing have enabled us
to incorporate more customized
patterns on our metal and even
acetate frames, which has enabled
us to differentiate our designs,
particularly in FYSH, from our
competition.”
This process is visible in FYSH
model F-3633.
“Innovative hinges are a must in
the Evatik collection and we are
launching two new models, E9191
and E9192, with screwless, flexible
hinges that are sure to be a hit,”
says Suliteanu.
