David Pietrobon, President and General Manager of HOYA Vision Care Canada, will be leaving the company effective September 30, 2013.

During his tenure, HOYA has been the fastest growing lens manufacturer in Canada.

“We wish to thank David for his valuable contribution to the company during 10 years of dedicated service, and wish him the best in any future endeavour,” said Gerry Bottero, President, HOYA Vision Care Company (Global).

For his part, David Pietrobon indicated that he is “confident that the management team in place will continue to grow the HOYA brand, to the benefit of Canadian Eyecare Professionals and their patients.”

Hoya Vision Care Canada is currently looking for a successor to Mr. Pietrobon.
