Guglielmo
Tabacchi started Safilo in 1934 when he bought the first Italian
manufacturing plant of lenses and frames. The plant was originally
founded in 1878. Safilo’s strategy became to take-over diverse
eyewear companies to build up a wide range of products. They
eventually acquired the likes of Burberry, Fossil, Nine West, Yves
Saint Laurent and Gucci. Today Safilo glasses are distributed all
over the world in over 130,000 stores, making Safilo Group the
highest ranking company in the eyewear field. |
