Andrea, a behavioural optometrist, opened ARS, his first sports eyewear and goggles producing company, in 1994. Over the following years he signed important contracts with high-calibre labels such as Rossignol, Bollè, Alpinestar, AGV, Decathlon, Progrip and many more. At the time he saw an opportunity within the military sector and launched his brand, Arsenik, which sold glasses and goggles worldwide to a range of military corps, from Special Forces to the Navy. During this same period he also opened his Optical Store near Milan - 300m2 filled with popular and exclusive products and big brands. In 2011 he acquired Exalt Cycle, an eyewear brand with a strong focus on technological research and innovation. In 2015, once the company developed an international network of sales, Andrea sold it to one of the main market players of the United Arab Emirates. Following this, Andrea felt that the time was finally right to dedicate himself to his main passion: product development. In Switzerland, where he now lives, he launched 3ND, a leading consulting company in high-end and luxury glasses.

Karin took her first steps in the sector through Luxottica, an international eyewear company, where she had the opportunity to learn in detail about the production process of eyewear products. Following an international experience with Travel Retail, she started working on the high-precision production of eyewear components and collaborated with two leading companies of the industry, thus developing international markets. Thanks to this significant experience Karin was able to enrich her technical and industrialisation expertise, as well as contributing towards product development, for the benefit of all market players worldwide- brands, OEMs and designers. In 2014 she decided to explore the distribution of an optical design brand and during that time she also continued her work in product development, focusing on American labels and specialising in the industry of sunglasses and their lenses. She has been working with 3ND, a leading consulting company in high-end and luxury glasses, since 2016.
