IVKO GmbH

Introducing our member:

Company Profile For over 20 years, the IVKO Group has been successfully manufacturing and distributing eyewear, particularly in the areas of children’s, fashion, and luxury eyewear. The company is a medium-sized family business. In 1992, Jutta Kahlbetzer and Wolfgang Thelen founded the company, which is headquartered in the Eifel region, right next to the Nürburgring. Today, the steadily growing company employs approximately 180 people.

YOUNG FASHION EYEWEAR
From baby glasses to children’s and teen eyewear, as well as sports and fashion eyewear, the IVKO product range meets the needs of a wide variety of target groups. In addition to attractive licensed brands, the company’s portfolio also includes successful private labels. Its market-leading position in eyewear for toddlers, children, and teens reflects its high level of brand recognition and popularity within the industry. With many years of experience and extensive technical expertise, IVKO ensures that every pair of glasses meets the specific needs of its customer groups. These quality standards are evident throughout the entire portfolio. IVKO relies on high-quality and innovative materials, optimal fits, fashionable colors and patterns, and—as needed—well-thought-out, highly functional specialty solutions in the eyewear sector. All sales activities are handled by Young Fashion Eyewear GmbH, a member of the IVKO Group.

HOFFMANN NATURAL EYEWEAR
Another exclusive brand from IVKO is Hoffmann Natural Eyewear. Since 1978, high-quality eyeglass frames made from genuine buffalo horn and other natural materials have been handcrafted at the company’s own workshop in the Eifel region. Individuality you can feel and see. Each frame is one-of-a-kind and 100% handmade in Germany. The manufacturing process combines traditional craftsmanship with innovative ideas and technology. Design, research, development, production, sales, and marketing are all handled in-house. The manufacturer also develops and produces high-quality eyeglass frames made from natural materials for other brands.

MAYBACH Icons of Luxury
MAYBACH Icons of Luxury GmbH is also part of the IVKO Group. As the name suggests, this brand offers high-end products whose origins lie in the manufacture of luxury vehicles.
More than 100 years ago, Wilhelm Maybach and his son Karl Maybach laid the foundation for a high-end automotive brand that became a legend from the very beginning. Precise craftsmanship and attention to detail define the brand’s distinctive style. Selected materials are carefully processed through numerous manual steps, reflecting the highest standards of German craftsmanship. The range of materials used is vast, spanning from the natural horn of the Asian water buffalo to precious woods, titanium, and pure gold. Optional embellishments featuring vegetable-tanned calf nappa leather or high-carat diamonds round out the diversity of these unique eyewear designs. MAYBACH prescription frames and sunglasses thus combine tradition and modernity and have secured their place worldwide in the luxury eyewear segment.
