Expanscience, an independent French pharmaceutical and dermo-cosmetics laboratory, is strengthening its development in the United States, a key growth market for its Actifs Cosmétiques business.
Expanscience currently generates almost 54% of its sales internationally through its 16 sites and distribution network in 90 countries, including 17 for its Cosmetic Active Ingredients business.
The challenges of the active cosmetics market in the US, where Expanscience has more than 50 customers including prestigious brands in the cosmetics industry, have led the laboratory to take over direct management of the US market from a distributor.
Noreza Papin, Area Manager with particular responsibility for the US market, will take full responsibility for business development in this territory from July 1, 2017.
"The American market is based on naturalness, CSR commitment and strong scientific data, to which Laboratoires Expanscience responds," explains Noreza Papin, Area Manager.
For their first appearance at Supplier's Day 2017 (New York City), Laboratoires Expanscience won the "Sustainability Award", which recognized the development of its Passioline cosmetic active designed with respect for Man and the environment. The award recognizes both Expanscience's R&D expertise in plant extraction and its eco-design approach to its cosmetic actives.
"Our new location in the United States is part of our commitment to strong growth in our business. We are focusing on innovation, geographical development and our ongoing commitment to CSR," emphasizes Armelle Le Peniec, Cosmetic Active Ingredients Director. "With the launch of an average of two new cosmetic active ingredients per year, and a stronger presence in key markets such as the USA, Expanscience is strengthening its position as the benchmark supplier of responsible plant-derived cosmetic active ingredients on an international scale", she concludes. Reporting to the Cosmetic Active Ingredients Division, Noreza Papin will be based in New York at the headquarters of Expanscience Laboratories Inc.
