About EssilorLuxottica

The world today has some 4.3 billion people with a problem with their vision. Of these, about 1.8 billion have access to an appropriate solution. That means that as many as 2.5 billion people do not. Improving lives by improving sight: that is EssilorLuxottica’s mission.

To this end, the EssilorLuxottica Group develops, produces and markets premium eye care products. Those products can be divided into glass (lenses and frames) and instruments (equipment opticians need to perform eye measurements). Continuous innovation is one of the driving forces behind EssilorLuxottica’s success. Just recently, for instance, the company developed a device that enables significantly more accurate eye measurements. Groundbreaking innovations like these not only bring the market leader ever closer to achieving its own mission, but there is great interest among opticians to work with EssilorLuxottica.

The company’s growth in the past came largely from acquisitions. EssilorLuxottica Group currently has multiple businesses – both in the glass, frames and instruments branches – and a retail network of some 18,000 shops. Integration of all those businesses and processes is currently at the top of the agenda.
