DIVISION
LIRAS Optical is the LIRAS Group division specializing in engineered polycarbonate and PMMA transparent components
Design, forming, machining, surface treatment, autoclave lamination, assembly and testing are all carried out at the Schio facility - a fully integrated production cycle rarely found among European manufacturers of engineered transparent components.
LIRAS Optical serves vehicle manufacturers, motorsport teams, OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, shipyards and vehicle converters requiring components developed from drawings, samples or technical specifications, with a focus on optical quality, process traceability and compliance with project-specific technical requirements.
THE GROUP
Specialists in plastics processing
Our industrial heritage has created specialized technical expertise, established manufacturing infrastructure and a highly skilled team. These assets form the foundation of the Optical division and give it a competitive advantage over companies established solely in the engineered transparencies market.
The facility has recently expanded its manufacturing capacity with a new production building dedicated to large-format machining, supporting the growth of the Optical division and its target markets.
60 years of industrial experience applied to engineered transparent components
GRUPPO
Our Approach
The process begins with a technical analysis of the request: geometry, material, industry, operating conditions and functional specifications. This assessment determines technical feasibility and, when required, leads to a co-design phase in which LIRAS Optical works with the customer to define the component - from material and process to treatment and tolerances.
Production is carried out entirely in-house, with component sampling, inspection and approval before serial production begins. Every order is accompanied by a manufacturing route card recording materials, process parameters and inspection results at each stage.
The delivery documentation includes the component's operating and maintenance instructions.
WHY CHOOSE US
In-house production
Having all the required technologies in-house enables LIRAS Optical to manage the entire production cycle without relying on external suppliers for critical stages.
This delivers three tangible benefits for the customer: direct quality control at every stage, complete component traceability from raw material to delivery, and the ability to respond quickly to design changes or sampling requirements without outsourcing critical activities.
Production complies with the ISO 9001 quality management system. Optical, dimensional and functional inspections are performed according to documented specifications, using calibrated instruments and systematic recording of results.
