For more than 160 years, Essilor has strived to offer wearers the benefits of its innovation.
Essilor was created from Essel and Silor, the two companies that dominated the French optical eyewear market in the mid-20th century. The new company inherited a priceless tradition from its two precursors - the entrepreneurial values of mutual trust, respect and building on differences which make it unique and encourage a spirit of initiative, enabling it to stay constantly ahead of the curve.
The group's corporate culture is built on the innovation which drives its employees on a daily basis and makes it possible to continue creating life-changing solutions: invention of the progressive lens, creation of plastic lenses, as well as lens coatings, hi-tech vision measurement tools and now customization of visual correction.
For Essilor, "seeing the world better" is the result of a rich history, setting the stage for our work in the future. | |  |
