Silhouette Group

1964 ist Silhouette mit einer klaren Vision gestartet: Anneliese und Arnold Schmied wollten die sch\xc3\xb6nsten Brillen der Welt kreieren und dabei h\xc3\xb6chste Qualit\xc3\xa4t als Selbstverst\xc3\xa4ndlichkeit sehen. Heute ist Silhouette Weltmarktf\xc3\xbchrer bei randlosen Premiumbrillen und dar\xc3\xbcber hinaus in den letzten Jahren stark im Vollrandsegment gewachsen. Dieser Erfolg ist kein Zufall, sondern das Ergebnis einer konsequenten Ausrichtung auf Qualit\xc3\xa4t und die Anforderungen der Zukunft. So werden die Premiumbrillen von Silhouette von Beginn an in \xc3\x96sterreich designt, entwickelt und hergestellt. Wir sind \xc3\xbcberzeugt von unserem Standort Linz und investieren seit Jahrzehnten in seine Talente.
