Our Journey: The Evolution of MELLUME

At Mellume, our history is more than just a timeline—it is a 20-year commitment to our core philosophy: “Appreciating Diversity, Sharing Harmony.” From our roots in the heart of Shenzhen’s eyewear cluster to becoming a global OEM/ODM leader, here is how we grew.

2006: The Genesis in Shenzhen

Mellume was established in the Longgang District of Shenzhen, the world’s premier hub for high-end eyewear manufacturing. We started with a small, dedicated team of artisans and a singular focus: delivering superior quality acetate and metal frames that meet international standards.

2011: Global Export Expansion

As our reputation for precision grew, so did our global footprint. By 2011, Mellume successfully secured CE and FDA registrations, marking our official entry into the European and North American markets. We transitioned into a export-oriented powerhouse, with over 80% of our production dedicated to international buyers.

2016: Industrial Maturity & Compliance

To better serve high-end global brands, we achieved a series of rigorous international certifications, including BSCI, ISO9001, and ISO14001. We expanded our facility to house nearly 200 skilled employees and invested heavily in our R&D center, ensuring our design capabilities stayed ahead of global fashion trends.

2021 – Present: The “One-Stop” Solution Era

Today, Mellume has evolved into a comprehensive one-stop partner for eyewear brands. We have mastered the craftsmanship of diverse materials—from sustainable bio-acetate and titanium to natural wood and horn. With our 15+ years of R&D expertise, we now provide end-to-end services, from exclusive industrial design to custom eco-friendly packaging, helping our partners build distinct brand identities.
