30 years of Essilor in Mexico

On 1 October Essilor celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of its Sofi plant at Chihuahua, Mexico, one of the first the group opened abroad in the Eighties. The anniversary provided an opportunity to thank its most senior collaborators, some of whom have worked at the plant for over twenty years on developing team skills and know-how. The numerous guests at the Essilor event included directors from some of the Group’s other facilities and also exponents of the local political world who also visited the plant. The Sofi headquarters consist of a manufacturing centre and two prescription glasses laboratories that were opened in 2008 and 2011.
