Silhouette marks 50th anniversary

To mark its 50th anniversary, the UK arm of Silhouette recently held a drinks reception at the residence of the Austrian ambassador Dr Emil Brix. UK managing director David Chalmers welcomed Silhouette staff and a select number of opticians at the event, at which guests were served Austrian wine and canapés.

‘In 1964 Arnold and Anneliese Schmied had a vision to create the most beautiful eyewear available with the highest quality and aesthetics as standard. This vision was then extended by Arnold and Klaus Schmied who have taken this wonderful company to where we stand today. Now it’s the turn of Thomas Windischbauer and Daniel Rogger to lead us all forward for the next 50 years,’ said Chalmers.
