Safilo: in Paraguay with Cepal

The Padua based company has signed an exclusive distribution partnership for Paraguay with Cepal, a leading local eyewear company with a longstanding successful track record of quality eyewear distribution since 1981.
With this partnership, Safilo further expands its footprint in Latin America in support of its growth plans in the region as part of its accelerated emerging markets expansion.
“With Paraguay, we add another Safilo market to our Latin America business, that already counts on Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina/Uruguay, Colombia and Chile, and the Caribbean. We are pleased with the region’s growth, that confirms its potential for quality branded eyewear development, and responds particularly positively to our leading brands Polaroid and Carrera,” says Luisa Delgado, CEO of Safilo Group. “We welcome Cepal to our global partner network, adding local industry leadership and proven commercial capabilities that will enable our brands with quality distribution and locally relevant brand building now also in Paraguay”.
“We are proud of our new partnership with Safilo. Their leading products meet the highest consumer demands both nationally and internationally. They offer trendsetting design, constantly at the forefront of fashion and style, with a versatility of frames and sunglasses that uniquely showcases what the beauty of modern eyeway design stands for,” says Armando Nasser, CEO of Cepal. “Together, we will guarantee in Paraguay the market’s highest quality distribution, best service, and locally relevant brand building. We will ensure that our final consumers in Paraguay are fully satisfied, and take pleasure and pride in wearing Safilo glasses”.
