HOYA Vision Care Acquires Centennial Optical

HOYA Vision Care is proud to announce the acquisition of Centennial Optical, a Canadian distributor of ophthalmic frames, eyeglass lenses, sunglasses, lab supplies, and optical accessories.  

The acquisition represents a significant opportunity to add to Centennial Optical’s solid foundation and leverage it with HOYA’s resources and technologies. The complementary capabilities of the two companies will elevate their ability to better serve the Canadian market.

“We continuously seek new opportunities to deliver greater value and drive innovation,” said Steven Haifawi, President of HOYA Vision Care Canada. “This strategic investment expands both our companies’ capabilities and enhances our competitive positions in the market while strengthening our partnerships with customers across Canada.”

“We carefully considered the future of our business, our customers, and our employees,” said Allen Nightingale, President of Centennial Optical. “What stood out about HOYA was more than just their industry leadership; it was their alignment with our culture, values, and mission. HOYA shares our commitment to innovation, integrity, and customer focused service, which made them the right partner for Centennial’s next chapter.”
