ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Wholesale
In 2010 our wholesale commercial management operation was reorganized along regional lines to respond to varying
needs in the different geographic areas and ensure faster decision–making. After successfully completing the integration
of the Luxottica and Oakley local operations in the United Kingdom and South Africa, a project was started in the second
half of 2010 to create a single commercial organization for the two businesses in Australia and Brazil. We expect to
complete these integrations during the first quarter of 2011.
