EssilorLuxottica extends partnership with Armani

EssilorLuxottica has renewed its licensing agreement with the Armani Group for the development, production and worldwide distribution of eyewear for its brands.

The companies first worked together in 1988 and the existing agreement has been in place since 2013. It has been renewed for a further 15 years from January, 2023.

Francesco Milleri, chair and CEO of EssilorLuxottica, said: ‘We are extremely proud of our history with the Armani Group and the magic we’ve created together. Leonardo Del Vecchio saw in Giorgio Armani a fellow entrepreneur with a shared passion for quality and innovation, and we are excited to continue on the journey they started. In keeping with Leonardo Del Vecchio’s vision, with Armani we inaugurate a new long term partnership model that will anchor us in the same spirit for many years to come.’
