Blackfin: The excellence of Italian know-how in independent bezeling
The beginnings in Agordo in 1971
In 1971, Maria Pramaor gave birth to a company that bears her name, thus marking the beginning of an exceptional story that continues today. At that time, Agordo was already famous for his eyeglass district and the thoroughness with which they were made. It is in this context that Maria Pramaor, after nine years as an employee, decides to open her own mount manufacturing laboratory. Thus begins an adventure marked by passion, skills and unwavering dedication. Some values have always been anchored, and they guide every step of this remarkable journey.
Innovation and differentiation
A bold approach to titanium
In the mid-1980s, when the frames were mainly made of traditional metal and acetate, Primo Del Din and his wife Maria Pramaor took an innovative approach by working titanium. In 1991, they decided to differentiate themselves from their competitors by exploring the possibilities offered by this material. They send their technical managers to Japan, create a titanium department and develop know-how that is now integrated into every Blackfin frame.
A company rooted in its region
Attachment to Agordo
Since his debut in Agordo, Blackfin has never left this city. The values, commitment and willingness to learn that led the company from day one remained unchanged. Although the facilities have been expanded to provide more space and comfort for workers, the company that manufactures Blackfin glasses still bears the name of Pramaor. History and its loved ones are preciously preserved and guide the company towards the future.
Neomadeinitaly: a unique identity
The alliance of traditional and innovation
Blackfin embodies a particular vision of « Made in Italy », which she calls the « neomadeinitaly ». The company has been able to preserve Italian artisanal traditions while bringing technological and aesthetic innovations.

Manufacturing
The process of creating a Blackfin mount

This manufacturing process is considered a true rite, requiring time, research and careful attention to detail. Each pair of glasses reflects the technical skill and art transmitted from generation to generation by men and women dedicated to their profession. The commitment to excellence is palpable in every stage of creation.
