ages 45 and older, these styles accommodate progressive lenses.
Clip-ons are available with some styles.
Safilo had focused primarily on the Italian market until the
1970s.
The growing popularity of Italian-made eyewear elsewhere in the
world soon led the company to begin its own international
expansion, starting with the launch of a subsidiary in Belgium
in 1977.
The success of its venture into Belgium led Safilo to expand
throughout Europe, opening distribution subsidiaries in Denmark,
Spain, Germany, and France.
Back in Italy, Safilo added a new factory operation, in
Martingnacco-Udine, in 1980, dedicated to the production of
metal components for eyeglass frames.
Safilo supported the growth of its stable of brands with the
steady expansion of its industrial and distribution capacity. In
1988, the company began construction of a new headquarters
facility on a 25-acre site in Padua, which opened in 1990.
The following year, Safilo inaugurated a new production plant in
Longarone dedicated to the production of metal frames. The new
site also enabled Safilo to enter the fast-growing market for
lightweight titanium-based frames.
