Switzerland-based Akn Group (formerly Akoni Group) has crowned its steady growth since its founding in 2019 with its first official acquisition: Götti. As part of the deal, premium lens manufacturer Eyetech also joins the Akn Group portfolio. This major expansion move is more than just a financial transaction—it represents a cultural alignment, shared values, and the merging of complementary expertise. This strategic step further strengthens Akn Group’s position in the global high-end and luxury eyewear market. Rosario Toscano, Founder and Ceo of Akn Group, commented: “Swiss precision and performance are the core values that define us. Following five years of consistent growth, we aim to expand our portfolio, reinforce our distribution channels, and further support our team. By combining the talent, resources, and capabilities of both companies, we strive to build a high-performance eyewear powerhouse driven by quality at every level. The acquisition of Götti is a reflection of this vision. Sven Götti will join the Akn Group Board of Directors and continue his creative work at Götti.” Sven Götti, Founder of Götti, added: “With this acquisition, I’m confident I’ve found partners who share my vision for the future of eyewear. I’m truly excited to continue supporting the company through its next phase of development.”
