Mondottica acquires Yves Cogan

Mondottica Group has acquired the artisanal French eyewear manufacturer and distributor Lunettes Yves Cogan. The integration of French-made luxury eyewear manufacturing capability will underpin the group’s expansion into the ultra-luxury market through its dedicated luxury business unit Brando, and provide further technical manufacturing and innovation capability to its new proprietary brand division, Spine Optics. The acquisition will also afford synergies in management and distribution which will support the continued growth of Cogan's existing business in key markets. Following the acquisition, Yves Cogan will continue to serve Lunettes Yves Cogan as an independent consultant on an exclusive basis. The company will continue to be based in Jura in the heart of France with no planned workforce reorganisation.
