Match Eyewear LLC, has signed an agreement to acquire Eyewear Designs Ltd. before year end. Eyewear Designs is a respected pioneer in the eyewear industry with roots dating back to 1972. This strategic acquisition unites two established powerhouses, combining Match Eyewear’s global scale and design-driven innovation with Eyewear Designs’ legacy of excellent brand partnerships, and customer-first philosophy.
The acquisition enhances Match Eyewear’s domestic and international reach, design capabilities, and brand portfolio, positioning the company for accelerated growth as it approaches its 25th anniversary. Match Eyewear will leverage the strengths of both companies to expand its global footprint and better serve optical professionals and consumers around the world.
The combined company will be led by Ethan Goodman, Co-Founder of Match Eyewear, who will continue in his role as President. Andrea Gluck, CEO and owner of Eyewear Designs, will remain a key figure in the organization for the next five years. Her continued leadership will focus on product development, licensing strategy, and enhancing the overall customer experience — areas where she excels.
“This move is more than a business decision — it’s about aligning passion, people, and purpose,” said Goodman. “Andrea is a true icon in the industry, and it’s a privilege to collaborate with her. Together, we aim to elevate our product offerings, accelerate innovation, and amplify our impact worldwide. I also want to extend my deepest gratitude to our Match Eyewear team and loyal customers. Your support has brought us to this exciting milestone.” Gluck echoed the sentiment, highlighting the values at the heart of the integration: “This partnership is rooted in mutual respect and a shared commitment to quality, creativity, and reliability — values that have defined Eyewear Designs for more than 50 years. Now, with greater scale and resources, we’re poised to serve our customers and partners in even more meaningful ways. I’m thrilled to be part of this next chapter.”
