The Sedico hub was opened in 2001 and is one of
the most technically advanced in the industry. In
2014, it managed approximately 20,000 orders per
day, including eyeglasses and spare parts. Sedico
ships approximately 210,000 units daily to customers
in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, select US markets
and to the Group’s distribution centers in the rest
of the world, where they are then shipped to local
customers. In addition, Sedico manages customized
services, such as Ray-Ban Remix, providing direct
global deliveries.
The Dongguan hub was opened in 2006 and
manages an average of 170,000 units per day. The
growth in the Asia-Pacific region has made this hub
a strategic part of the Group’s distribution network.

services and increase capacity in order to create
even greater efficiencies in the region.
The Atlanta facility, opened in 1996, has consolidated

one of the major airport hubs of the United States.

businesses in the North American market. This
facility has a highly advanced cross-belt sorting
system that can move up to 150,000 units per day.

Jundiai, close to São Paulo, which offers targeted
distribution services to customers.

registration and enforcement of its trademarks and
patents around the world.
The Group’s commitment is demonstrated through
the on-going results of its anti-counterfeiting activities
and increased leveraging of its global organization.
Trademarks and products from market leaders are
increasingly copied and the implementation of a
strong global anti-counterfeiting program allows
Luxottica to send a strong message both to infringers
and to its authorized distribution network.
This program allows Luxottica, on the one hand, to
