SMITH OPTICS EXITING IDAHO TO GROW

Safilo Group will relocate key functions of Smith Optics from Ketchum, ID to a new global design center in Portland, OR and Safilo's North American headquarters in Parsippany, NJ in a bid to take the brand global. The decision follows an in-depth analysis conducted over the past year in collaboration with Smith’s top management and with the goal of evolving Smith from its strong North American snow sport goggle posi-tion into a global eyewear brand.

As a consequence, three key decisions have been taken with regard to the future locations of Smith:

» Portland, OR has been chosen as the U.S. West Coast location and will serve as the inspirational base for the product leadership activi-ties of the Global Sports & Outdoor Lifestyle segment. Consequent-ly, Smith design, product development, marketing, artwork, and e-commerce activities will relocate to Portland.

» The manufacturing of all Sports brands ski goggles will be concentrated in Clearfield, UT, the current home of the Smith manufacturing and distribution center.

» To enable joint capabilities with Safilo’s U.S. headquarters, the IT, HR and Finance functions will move to Parsippany, NJ where Safilo USA is based.

By 2020, Safilo Group predicts Smith could more than double in size, provided it expands into international markets from its currently narrow sportswear distribution channels. “We believe in the Smith brand and we are taking decisions that are aimed at further developing it sustainably across the globe," said Safilo Group CEO Luisa Delgado. "To do so, we have to create a more efficient platform and Smith can strongly benefit from the synergies deriving from our Group as a whole. We need there-fore to organize ourselves to leverage these opportunities”.

The transition out of Ketchum, where Smith Optics employs 85, will be phased gradually between 2015 and 2018. Smith Optics was founded in Idaho in 1965. Safilo, based in Italy, bought Smith in the 1990s.
