Our factory has been running for many years. Most of the workers here have stayed a long time. Some people came when they were still very young, and now they manage small teams for polishing, assembly, or packing. In Wenzhou, this is quite normal—people learn a skill and stick with it.
When you walk into our workshop, you will see injection machines making frames, a lens-cutting area, polishing lines, people assembling hinges, another group fitting lenses, and at the back, a packing corner where cartons pile higher than they should. We always say we should clean up more often, but when orders are running, everyone just keeps going and the boxes stay there for a while.
We have reading glasses, sunglasses, sports models, safety frames, and photochromic lenses running at the same time. Sometimes this makes the planning a bit of a headache. For example, sports models often need extra trimming, safety glasses must meet stricter tension requirements, reading glasses need accurate diopters, and photochromic lenses need sun-tests in the yard behind the building. On sunny days this is easy. On cloudy days we have to wait, and someone will complain that the weather is slowing the order.
This is just how the factory runs—real work, real people, real situations. No big slogans. Just trying to keep everything moving in the right direction.
