HAVE you been looking for a good manufacturing project of prosperity that can be embarkedupon on a cottage, small or medium scale' If the answer is yes then production and marketing of exquisite spectacle frames of sorts is it! You will easily reap a fortune from it because it is a project that brings in money on daily basis. Spectacle frames are used to mount spectacle lenses and sunglasses. They are manufactured in different shapes, materials and sizes in order to cater for the basic needs of the spectacles and the users. These include those that have medically been diagnosed to suffer from one eye deficiency or the other, those who wear them for 'show' and those who wear sunglasses to mitigate the adverse effects of the sun's rays on their eyes as well as for 'show'.SPECTACLE FRAMES MARKET is growing both locally and internationally especially if the finished products are of good quality, well designed and exquisite. Looking good is good business. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and even kiddies love to look beautiful and attractive for obvious reasons-fashion is in vogue. No party or beachwear is complete without sunglasses. The increasing population and sight problems and the increasing level of fashion consciousness have led to the sizeable increase in demand and volume of sales of spectacles and hence frames.. Take a trip to our local market and you will be stunned to discover that nearly 99% of all the spectacle frames on display for sale is imported whereas both the technology and raw materials for their manufacture are here with us and within reach. One can tap into this huge, ever-growing and sustainable local and export market and make a good living because supply has not kept pace with the high demand being experienced in the industry. Hence there is a good opportunity for small producers to tap into and exploit the market both for the local and international market especially in the ECOWAS, East and Central African countries.LAND AND BUILDING space needed is minimal as not more than 1,500 square feet of covered area will be needed. A standard three-bedroom bungalow is big enough to accommodate all of the production floor, store for both the raw materials and finished products, office and reception room. If you cannot afford a bungalow, you can use a garage space. Both the land and building can be rented and used until one is able to acquire his own property.RAW MATERIALS that will be used to manufacture spectacle frames are cellulose nitratesheets, side wire, polishing compound, buffing materials etc. They are all obtainable locally and in abundance too.PLANT AND MACHINERY required to set up spectacle frames manufacturing project are a milling cutter, drilling machine, wire re-inforcement machine, polishing drums, buffing machines, press, routing machine and other miscellaneous accessories and equipment like dies, moulds etc.MANUFACTURING PROCESSES involved in spectacle frames manufacture include the cutting of the cellulose sheets into required sizes for frames and side parts, re-inforcing the metallic rods into, the sides under specific temperature and pressure by a wire insertion machine and the working of the fronts to the desired shapes and designs. The other stages are the putting of grooves, the assembling of the different parts of the finished frames and their final polishing in the buffing and polishing machines to give them the shine.UTILITIES NEEDED: Total connected power load of not more than 10 HP is needed. The need for both water and other utilities is minimal and so can easily and cheaply be met.THE ESTIMATED TOTAL PROJECT COST of establishing small-scale spectacle frames manufacturing plant will be incorporated in 'A Complete Industrial Profile On Spectacle Frames Manufacturing' or a comprehensive and bankable feasibility report that interested investors need to implement this project successfully. It will include such details as the raw materials and equipment, their sources and costs, manufacturing and technical process flowcharts, product costing, labour categories, cost and organisation chart, implementation schedule, cash flow, balance sheet and profit and loss projections, standards set by the relevant statutory regulatory agencies to be followed, etc items as plant and machinery, miscellaneous fixed assets, preliminary and pre-operating expenses, working capital margin and provision for working capital.This is a small scale project but it can be embarked upon on a higher scale. It is estimated that the project promoters will be able to provide 30% of the total project cost while the rest will be sourced from friends and family friends and/or any of the various available facility-providing agencies in the country.There are many advantages of setting up this project and include employment generation, enhancement of economic development, ease of production (anyone can produce these once he has been taught the rudiments of the production techniques), economic growth, addition of value to the locally available raw material through processing effective processing, capital injection into the economy, improvement of our technological base through technology transfer, reduction in the rate of rural-urban migration and in the attendant social vices in the cities as a result of virile, educated youths staying idle but who have to contend with the biting pangs of hunger, good returns on investment and sales, etc.For assistance in setting up this lucrative project, interested serious investors should please contact DON.
