EssilorLuxottica announces the renewal and expansion of its partnership with Ferrari, a wholly owned Italian subsidiary of Ferrari N.V., that began in 2016.
Under the new multi-year agreement, signed by the two companies and effective from January 1, 2023, EssilorLuxottica will continue to design, produce and market eyewear products featuring the Scuderia Ferrari and Ray-Ban brands. The licensing activities also extend to the first collection of monobrand eyewear featuring the Prancing Horse trademark.
EssilorLuxottica’s sponsorship is also expanding under the new agreement: the Ray-Ban logo, in addition to remaining on the Formula 1 single-seaters, will appear for the first time on the cars and apparel of the official drivers in Competizioni GT, competing in the World Endurance Championship with the Le Mans Hypercar and in a Gran Turismo championship with GT3 cars.
“There is only one Ferrari, and our story together has been exciting since the beginning. We saw with our first collaboration between Ray-Ban and Scuderia Ferrari the passion racing fans have for the Ferrari brand and the strong crossover between racing and fashion translated very well into eyewear,” said Francesco Milleri, Chairman and CEO of EssilorLuxottica.
“As of today, Ferrari is preparing to achieve new goals with EssilorLuxottica: from the first exclusively Ferrari-branded eyewear line to the challenges awaiting us on the circuits in the motorsport seasons ahead,” said Benedetto Vigna, CEO of Ferrari.
