EssilorLuxottica | A monopoly hidden in plain sight
Manage episode 456345743 series 3616097
What if I told you that the glasses you wear, whether they contain the Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Ferrari or Brunello Cucinelli brand, all come from the same company. In this eye-opening episode, we uncover the hidden monopoly (pun intended) behind the eyewear industry, EssilorLuxottica.
Luxottica's dominance is remarkable for a company that doesn't put its logo on its products. This low-profile approach, inspired by founder Leonardo Del Vecchio, contrasts with other brands' heavy self-promotion. EssilorLuxottica's low profile is a deliberate strategy crafted by its founder, Leonardo Del Vecchio, known as 'Mr. Nobody' for the mystery surrounding him and his company. His master plan for Luxottica was initially met with skepticism but was executed to perfection until his passing.
This episode explores how Luxottica crafted its eyewear monopoly and what sets EssilorLuxottica apart in the market. You're in for a fascinating look at the publicly listed eyewear company, hiding in plain sight.
