Essilor Sverige Information

While the company's roots go back well into the last century, Essilor International was formed in 1972 with the amalgamation of two French companies Essel and Silor. Globally, Essilor operates in around 100 countries. Essilor is world famous for the Varilux lens, the world's first progressive lens, which was invented in 1959. Since then over 200 million Varilux lenses have been manufactured world wide. Essilor is the world leader in ophthalmic products. One in every two progressive lenses sold worldwide is an Essilor lens. Essilor has four major brands that embody cutting edge technology. Varilux (progressive lenses), Crizal (lenses with multiple coatings), Eyezen and Transitions (photochromic lenses). The Varilux brand often features in the national press and on radio and linked merchandising for Varilux Specialist Opticians means its campaign is a familiar sight in almost every High Street. Essilor has attained ISO 9002 and ISO 9001:2000, following continual reassessment of systems, procedures and quality throughout the manufacturing facility.
