SILMO Paris

As a major international optics and eyewear  industry  event, SILMO has established  itself  because  of  its  positioning  based on three areas – fashion, technology and health – breaking into new markets, promoting innovation and design, and by having a forward-looking approach so as to keep in step with changes to consumption patterns and technological developments.

SILMO has stood the test of time without aging in the slightest! On the contrary, the trade fair demonstrates the strength of its commitments, its uniqueness and its ability to be at the centre of the international markets. This has been achieved despite the economic vicissitudes that have punctuated its long history. SILMO remains a leading business platform for exhibiting and for promoting design and innovation, a focal point for talent and know-how with a wide range of products on display, bringing together frames, lenses and optical equipment, layout for retail outlets, services, chains, purchasing departments etc. SILMO is in sync with the global optics and eyewear industry and remains the major event of the autumn. Let’s now take a look back at the key dates which have marked its history and the industry’s history too.

After a period linked to the COVID-19, the optical sector persists in its development. Ever more technical, the optical industry is fashionable, committed, and still has many secrets to reveal to you.
