Currently operating in seven countries, including the United Kingdom, with offices in Madrid, Milan, Lisbon, São Paulo, Bogota and Mexico City, CECOP reaches 2020 with presence in the North American market.
With over 3,600 optics worldwide, CECOP maintains a strong commitment to the US market by opening business activities. The company is currently working on partnership agreements with local US players to bring its activities to new levels of profitability and growth and to provide a strong business start for US opticians from 2020.
For CECOP, “the US market offers solid business opportunities and partnership agreements. Without doubt, it is a booming market with potential business opportunities. It also offers worldwide visibility, the possibility of strong alliances and, in addition, an innovative understanding of market trends for key business opportunities to be adapted to other countries in the group.”
The values of COLLABORATION, EXCELLENCE, FLEXIBILITY, COMMITMENT, INNOVATION, and ETHICS remain at the center of the group’s philosophy, and make this group the perfect choice for an entrepreneurial optician. CECOP’s philosophy extends worldwide, from Spain to Italy, Portugal, the United Kingdom and Ireland, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico, with over 3,600 associates. The best purchasing conditions on the market, personalized services for each individual practice and the utmost respect for opticians’ independence have been determining factors for their international success.
“At CECOP, we work to make entrepreneurial optometrists achieve their dreams by being with them and being their true trusted partner,” says Jorge Rubio, CECOP founder and CEO. He himself also had a dream: to build a leading association that could bring the most effective and innovative solutions to the optics business. CECOP has fulfilled this dream by offering excellent buying conditions with main suppliers and offering its associates a personalized approach and a wide range of services and programs, all designed specifically to increase the profitability of their business.
CECOP was founded in 1996, when a group of independent optics, aiming to grow and become more competitive, created a new business concept: an optics group based on a trusted association of optics, good work and freedom. Over time, CECOP has expanded its strategy by incorporating a set of services that provide optical professionals with the tools and skills to better manage their business, reach the market more efficiently, and capture and build customer loyalty.
