Gloryfy

"You can't break them, only lose them!" - that is the creed of the Gloryfy brand. Maximum eye protection, high functionality and minimal risk of injury thanks to the intelligent use of suitable plastics and technology. What comes out of the Austrian eyewear manufacturer Gloryfy is something special. Unbreakable is also how to describe the history and creation of Gloryfy sunglasses. Christoph Egger was working with the material silicone for cell phone covers when a friend's eye injury from broken glasses while skiing in 2004 and a couple's argument after a classic "top seat" gave rise to an idea. Why not make glasses with the already familiar material silicone? The idea was a good one, but the first attempts at production were total failures. Christoph Egger is convinced by the idea and continues. In Mayrhofen in Zillertal, a clean room including a laboratory was set up in 2005 to carry out the necessary development tests more or less independently of external developers. What followed was a testament to "unbreakable", as it took a full five years for the idea to develop into the first series product.

In 2006, tests, tests and more tests were carried out in the laboratory. The main difficulties were finding the right materials and a suitable series production process that would enable production in large quantities! 2007 one of the important plastics technicians from the specialist team leaves the development team as he no longer believes in the vision of completely unbreakable glasses. Christoph Egger continues to believe in his vision and work continues with a new technician. In 2008, the first Gloryfy Unbreakables were delivered under adventurous circumstances. As there is no series production yet, all models are produced in the laboratory and the products delivered are "truly" unique! In 2009, the project is on the short end. Desperate attempts are made to set up series production that is capable of producing the "Unbreakables" economically. The breakthrough came in 2010: what started as an idea in 2005 became reality. Gloryfy Unbreakable glasses can finally be produced in series. In 2010, after five years of development and testing, the breakthrough was achieved in the local laboratory in Tyrol and the glasses could be mass-produced for the first time from gloryfy G-Flex® and gloryfy I-Flex® plastics. Today, the glasses are worn by stars, starlets, athletes, music stars and normal people.

Having a vision, believing in it and always working towards the goal is the guarantee of success. Ensuring production secrecy and the short distances between development, production and distribution are decisive arguments as to why the glasses are still manufactured in Austria. The complexity of gloryfy unbreakable is very high. Gloryfy's secret lies in its unique manufacturing process, which can be best implemented and further developed in the Austrian laboratory. Another argument in favor of Austria as a location is its geographical position in the middle of the Tyrolean mountains, which offers ideal conditions for new developments. A significant part of the Gloryfy athlete team lives in the immediate vicinity of the gloryfy headquarters, which means that product tests can be carried out easily and promptly and their feedback can be constantly incorporated into the further development and design of the glasses. Unbreakable glasses by athletes for athletes ? the expertise from outside paired with the company's internal know-how and years of experience in handling the unique unbreakable material NBFX (Non Breakable Flex Polymer) is an essential part of the recipe for success of gloryfy unbreakable eyewear.
