A partnership that transforms the industry
The collaboration between these companies has enabled them to pool their expertise in aluminum and multi-material packaging, essential for achieving the visual and tactile standards sought by the luxury goods industry. " This technology is not only a breakthrough for our sector, it also enriches our strategy of continuous innovation. "says Alexis Gosset, Pochet's Director of Strategic Partnerships.
This project has found strong support, as illustrated by Julien Garry, General Manager of Innovation at Chanel: " Chanel is very proud to support such an ambitious initiative, demonstrating the relevance of such collaborations within the cosmetics industry. "
