NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--Kaenon Polarized has signed an exclusive sales, marketing and distribution deal with Paris-based Akenao for the European Union, according to Steve Rosenberg, president of Kaenon.

Akenao will work in close partnership with Kaenon Polarized USA and pre-existing distributors in the United Kingdom, Switzerland and the Canary Islands. Akenao president Eric Ly-Ky will leverage his prior experiences as an executive of Oakley Europe, ActiveEurope.com and Patagonia Europe.

"This partnership is based on a strong platform including the combination of our past work experience together, the superior advantages of Kaenon's proprietary and revolutionary SR-91 polarized lens, and the proven product credibility resulting from our world-class athletes and opinion leaders competing in Kaenon Polarized around the globe," said Rosenberg.

Outside the European Union, Kaenon Polarized is distributed in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia, Brazil, Israel, and on the World Wide Web at www.kaenon.com.
