Today, Synsam Group (Synsam) announces an exclusive and strategic partnership with one of the world's most prominent football stars - Erling Haaland from Norway. It includes the launch of a unique collection of eyewear, sunglasses, and sports glasses with a focus on both performance and design, signed by Erling Haaland. Through this partnership, Synsam is also taking a step into the international market.
The 25-year-old Norwegian striker Erling Haaland is a global star and has been playing for Manchester City since 2022. Known for his explosive speed and exceptional goalscoring ability, he has racked up a string of individual awards and broken numerous goal records throughout his career, including the historic Premier League record for most goals in a single season. Off the pitch, Erling Haaland is a global style icon with a fanbase of over 40 million followers - a clear testament to his impact both inside and outside of football.
- We are incredibly proud that Erling Haaland has chosen Synsam for his very first international product partnership under his own name. As a leading player in the Nordic optical market, Synsam stands for new thinking and innovation, with a strong focus on fashion, which makes it a match made in heaven. The partnership is a major investment for Synsam and an exciting step into a completely new market - international e-commerce. It is a unique opportunity for us to try new sales channels in a live setting, says Håkan Lundstedt, President and CEO of Synsam Group.
Erling Haaland's collection has been under development for a long time, and the figurehead is pleased with the result.
- Synsam has long been a personal favorite, and I have always appreciated their style and quality as a customer. With my strong interest in fashion and design, it feels very exciting to partner with Synsam and be part of creating the eyewear collection. I really look forward to sharing the frames with fans, teammates, and Synsam's customers, says Erling Haaland.
