Czech Businessman Michal Strnad Offers €30 Billion for Delfin, Parent of EssilorLuxottica Stakeholder Del Vecchio Family
A Czech businessman makes an offer for EssilorLuxottica’s parent company
Czech businessman Michal Strnad has offered €30 billion to acquire Delfin, the holding company controlled by the Del Vecchio family. Delfin holds a 32.4 percent stake in EssilorLuxottica, along with minority interests in Italian insurance and banking groups Generali, UniCredit, and Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena. The report, published on October 30, 2026, describes an offer rather than a completed transaction or confirmed acceptance.
This potential acquisition of EssilorLuxottica's parent holding company could significantly impact the ownership structure and strategic direction of a major player in the global eyewear market.
