History

Essilor Shared Services Philippines, Inc. (ESSPI) was a unit established in 2003 to provide IT solutions and technical support to Transitions Optical, one of Essilor’s subsidiaries. Over the years, the team has grown and established their foothold, and expanded to providing Infrastructure and Finance shared services support. In 2015, a program to optimize and elevate efficiency of all operations point of shared services of Essilor in the world became instrumental to ESSPI in becoming a separate business unit from the manufacturing and one of the Essilor companies in the Philippines.

Although the Essilor group has existed since 1972, its origins date back more than a century. Shaped by major technological advances, this long history is also one of a strong company culture built on values and a unique ambition: to help everyone to see well.

Essilor is the result of a unique and nearly 170 year human, industrial and business adventure, which has seen the transformation of an artisanal spectacle maker, established in Paris in 1849 and which rapidly expanded in the Meuse region, into a Group of 61,000 people across the world. Our story is built on strong foundations that nourish Essilor’s culture even today: innovation, partnerships, international openness, entrepreneurial spirit and human values.
