Cosmetics are playing an increasingly important role in our modern civilization. There are countless forms and target groups and the market is growing unstoppably. Particular attention must be paid to the ingredients and their research in terms of quality and safety, as the products come into contact with skin, hair, teeth or mucous membranes and their effects are increasingly close to those of pharmaceuticals or medicals products.
We support you in the expansion, conversion or new construction of your production or research facility and help you to set up efficient processes and ensure the consistently high quality of your products.
Here you will find a selection of projects that we have successfully completed in the cosmetics industry. Convince yourself of our expertise and get inspiration for your next project with us.
