Kering Eyewear has acquired 100% of Italian manufacturer Visard and a minority stake in Mistral, two companies known for their high-quality eyewear production. This move strengthens Kering's manufacturing capabilities, enhancing its control over luxury eyewear designs. Visard specialises in injection-moulded plastic frames, while Mistral focuses on acetate frames. The acquisition aligns with Kering's strategy to expand its eyewear division, with the transaction expected to complete by Q3 2025. Kering may fully acquire Mistral by 2030 to further enhance its eyewear portfolio.
