Kering buys stakes in Italian eyewear manufacturers Visard, Mistral

PARIS (Reuters) – Gucci owner Kering said on Thursday its high-end eyewear division had signed an agreement to acquire the entire share capital of Italian manufacturer Visard and a minority stake in another Italian company Mistral.

The transaction is expected to go through in the third quarter of 2025, Kering said, without giving any financial details.

It could complete a full acquisition of Mistral in 2030, it added.
