EXCERPT 1:
Massimo Vian — Luxottica Group — CEO for Product and Operations
…. So, where will Luxottica be tomorrow? We’ll be building the eyewear company of the future, either on our own or, or much better, as a combined entity…But, as a combined entity, we will strengthen the offer for eyecare professionals and end consumers, in other words coupling brand management with eyecare, thus, adding a crucial pillar to our business model to complete the vertical integration. Over €16 billion in sales for the combined entity, if we put together 2016 sales for Luxottica and Essilor. This is of course the direction we’re heading in. The combination will allow us to put our foot on the gas and accelerate our vision of producing the complete pair of frames and lenses together with the most perfect fit and the shortest delivery time to better serve our wholesale customers and our end consumers.
This can be a game changer for consumers that have been hungry for excellence and innovation as well as much, much higher prices.
