EssilorLuxottica Group Adds Eyewear Brand BLIZ To Portfolio

Press Release:
BLIZ strengthens the EssilorLuxottica Group’s brand portfolio from January 1, 2024

The up-and-coming Scandinavian sports brand BLIZ will become part of the EssilorLuxottica
brand portfolio from January 1, 2024, with an impressive range of sports eyewear, ski goggles
and helmets.

Founded in Sweden in 2007 and with numerous success stories in cross-country skiing and
several Olympic gold medals, BLIZ is one of the fastest growing sports brands on the
European market. The wide product range includes sports goggles, ski goggles and helmets.
BLIZ has made it its mission to create technical products for all those who appreciate the
combination of clear Scandinavian design and outstanding functionality – at a first-class price-performance ratio.

The brand is aimed at the young, active target group, the so-called “Weekend Warriors”, who enjoy cycling or hiking in the mountains. This group not only attaches importance to performance and quality, but also to a reasonable price level. BLIZ Eyewear has worked
closely with world-class athletes from various sports to ensure that each product is optimally
tailored to the needs of the sport.

BLIZ’s distribution strategy in the launch year focuses exclusively on sports retailers. It will
strengthen existing customer relationships and expand into new markets through the
EssilorLuxottica Group’s extended partner network.
