Q - QUALITY AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL
The highest priority for us is the quality of YQU sunglasses and prescription glasses and their accessories. Because only if the quality is convincing will you enjoy our products for a long time. Because we are so convinced of our range, we also offer you exclusive services.
U - OUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE ENVIRONMENT
We attach great importance to ensuring that our products are manufactured under environmentally friendly conditions. For example, we rely on the power of the sun by using solar energy for part of our production. It is also important to us to use sustainable materials. We also make a contribution to the environment by only using recyclable packaging. We make every effort to keep transportation routes as short as possible.
From raw materials to glasses
We attach great importance to complete transparency.
We will show you where the components of your glasses come from and how they are processed step by step until you can hold your own YQU glasses in your hands.

The YQU team
What would a company be without an energetic team?
We put our heart and soul into YQU every day and complement each other.
Anna, the creative one
I was immediately hooked on Tim's idea. A pair of glasses that everyone can design according to their own taste and wear in different ways! During my studies, I developed various strategies on how to successfully launch the product on the market. After graduating, I focused on developing the idea into a market-ready product. When I was able to wear the finished glasses for the first time, it was an indescribable feeling!
Tim, the inventor
On a warm spring day, I noticed a pair of sunglasses that were black on the outside and white on the inside. I would have liked it if the white inside had also stood out more. At that moment, I thought to myself: what if the temples could be rotated? Then you could wear one of the two colors depending on the occasion, outfit or preference. That's how the idea of YQU glasses came about.
Terry, the analyst
The focus on sustainable production with a reliable partner is particularly important to me. In this way, we produce our YQU eyewear with a clear conscience and make an important contribution to protecting the environment. I also think it's important to be in close contact with our partners. This is the only way we can realize our ideas and create new YQU eyewear.
