Oakley, Inc. has renewed its licensing agreement with Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. for an additional three years. The agreement was originally established in 2003.


“Our partnership with Ducati has achieved tremendous success with past product offerings, and we are excited to extend the ongoing alliance,” said Colin Baden, president of Oakley, Inc. “Our two companies share a lineage of aggressive design and innovation, as well as a drive to explore unconventional roads of thinking. Ducati motorcycles have more single race victories than all other competitors combined, and we are honored to carry their emblem and colors on exclusive optical inventions that turn science into art.”

“Oakley continually raises the bar for performance eyewear and the company's innovative designs continue to be the favorite of Ducati racers,” commented Gabriele Del Torchio, chief executive officer of Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. “Oakley is a dynamic and compelling brand that succeeds by combining the very best technologies and designs, and their ideals of excellence reflect the same uncompromising standards of Ducati engineering and design. We embrace this opportunity to build on our partnership and enrich Ducati's global network with additional products that salute the best of both companies.”
