Cheung started the company with the goal of becoming a game-changing eyewear supply partner, combining his industry experience with a focus on quality, flexibility and creative product development. The company was established as a full-service OEM and ODM manufacturer, meaning it both produces eyewear to customer specifications and develops original designs for clients. From its base in Hong Kong, D.I. Ware built a production facility in Shenzhen, China, and later added a North America office in Montreal, Canada. The Shenzhen factory employs more than 380 workers and has a monthly production capacity of 200,000 units. Production is divided across metal (50%), acetate (40%) and titanium and injection nylon (10%).
