Safilo inaugurates Product School in Padua

In mid-October Safilo officially presented its Product School, a three-year apprenticeship that began in September. Selected from over 200 candidates, the nine young talents are being given the chance to learn a trade through practical experience. The aim is to train future product managers by providing direct, all-round knowledge of all the creative and production stages, which will involve internal managers and external professionals in the training process. The company’s objectives also include enhancing the legacy of Calalzo di Cadore, Safilo’s very first manufacturing facility that was inaugurated in 1934 and now hosts over 3,000 pairs of eyeglasses in the company’s collection as well as a unique archive of more than 250,000 pairs of eyeglasses dating from the end of the 19th century to the present day.
