Description: EL EssilorLuxottica S. A.

EssilorLuxottica S.A. (EL) is a Paris-headquartered company, founded in 1849 and reorganized under its current name in October 2018 following the combination of lens maker Essilor and eyewear manufacturer Luxottica. The group designs, manufactures, and globally distributes ophthalmic lenses, frames, sunglasses, contact lenses, and a wide range of optician instruments and diagnostic equipment, operating across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific.

Its portfolio spans both healthcare-oriented and consumer-facing eyewear brands, including Varilux, Crizal, Stellest, and Transitions on the lens side, and Ray-Ban, Oakley, Persol, Oliver Peoples, and Vogue Eyewear in fashion frames. Through brands such as Satisloh and the SPECTRALIS imaging platform, it also supplies eye-care professionals with refraction, edging, finishing, and diagnostic hardware, making the business one of the few players that is vertically integrated from lens and frame manufacturing through to retail distribution.

Distribution reaches independent opticians, third-party e-commerce platforms, and large retail chains, alongside the companys own brick-and-mortar stores and online channels. The eyewear industry is unusual in straddling health care (corrective lenses, diagnostics, optical instruments) and consumer discretionary (fashion sunglasses, branded frames), which is reflected in EssilorLuxotticas positioning as both a health care equipment supplier and a major branded eyewear retailer.
