De Rigo

De Rigo is an Italian eyewear group headquartered in Longarone, in the province of Belluno. Founded in 1978, the company operates in the design, production and distribution of optical frames and sunglasses. Its business combines wholesale distribution with retail operations, giving the group a presence both in eyewear supply and in optical stores. The company’s portfolio includes its own brands such as Lozza, Police, Sting and Yalea, as well as eyewear collections developed through partnerships and licensing arrangements with other fashion and luxury brands. The official website describes these collaborations as relationships built around shared vision and values. The breadth of the portfolio spans different design identities, from Lozza’s classic styling to Police, Sting and Yalea. De Rigo also operates optical retail chains General Optica, Mais Optica and Opmar Optik, and has a participating interest in Boots Opticians. Its website says the group distributes products in more than 100 countries through 23 group companies and over 100 independent distributors. This international wholesale network and retail presence are central features of its business model. The available evidence does not specify the full ownership structure or identify current executives.

De Rigo was founded in Italy in 1978 and developed as an eyewear business focused on the design, production and distribution of optical frames and sunglasses. The company’s development brought together product design and manufacturing with distribution, building a wholesale business that could serve markets beyond its home country. Its current website describes an extensive international network: products reach more than 100 countries through 23 group companies and over 100 independent distributors. The group has built a portfolio that includes both its own eyewear brands and collections made through relationships with outside fashion and luxury brands. The official site presents Lozza, Police, Sting and Yalea among its brands. It also highlights licensed collections and collaborations, describing them as partnerships based on shared vision and values. This portfolio approach allows De Rigo to serve distinct design identities within the wider eyewear market. Alongside wholesale and brand activities, De Rigo has developed an optical retail presence. The group identifies General Optica, Mais Optica and Opmar Optik as chains it owns, and Boots Opticians as a company in which it has a participating interest. These retail operations complement its distribution business and connect the group with consumers through optical stores. De Rigo remains an active group. Its official governance page gives its registered office as Z.I. Villanova 12, 32013 Longarone (BL), Italy. The supplied material does not provide a detailed chronology of acquisitions, leadership changes or market-entry dates, so those developments are not asserted here.
