Buoyed by the dynamism of the perfume and skincare markets in the Luxury Goods sector, as well as its customers' growing interest in aluminum, an infinitely recyclable material, Axilone decided to significantly increase production capacity at its Sant Pere de Torellô site in Catalonia.

The investment takes the form of a new production site, located in the immediate vicinity of the current site. It will cover an area of around 12,000 m2 and should eventually double the capacity currently available.
Construction of the new plant will start in the first half of this year. The new plant is scheduled to go into production in early 2025.
The new plant will be entirely powered by certified green energy, as is the current production site.

The French factory and its customer Puig are recognized in the perfume category.
for Dries Van Noten's perfume bottles.
This is the 3rd time the collection has been recognized, having received a Formes de Luxe award last October and a CosmétiqueMag gold award in November.

The refillable bottle for Dries Van Noten eaux de Parfum, launched almost a year ago, is now available in a new version.
awarded in the women's fragrance category at the PCD innovation awards in January 2022. Both Puig, the customer, and Stoelzle, the glass supplier, received the award on Wednesday, January 25, 2022. All suppliers involved in the project were also congratulated.

This attractive glass bottle is made in Hauts-de-France, at Stoelzle Masnières Parfumerie, and features ten shells on the bottom of the bottle, four different materials (porcelain, plastic, wood, metal) and two types of lacquer (eight classic and two Quali Glass Coat 2.0, an eco-friendly powder coating exclusive to STO).
A first of its kind for Stoelzle, the innovative features involve the development of ten products at once; a complete, multi-material product line with the need to adapt the gluing process to account for dimensional differences, between shell and bottle, depending on the material. Each of the ten bottles requires a different bonding system, which is a first for Stoelzle in combining so many materials at once.
Dries Van Noten's collectible bottle also features a unique unscrewing system, with a mesh inside to make the closing mechanism invisible. A special key is supplied with the refill bottle to unlock the pump, along with a funnel for easy filling.

The innovative bottles are refillable and reusable, which allows them to be transformed into soliflore and to become real objects of art. The bottles can also be used as perfume diffusers.
The creative director of the brand that bears his name, Dries Van Noten, drew on his passion for flowers and gardening to come up with a concept for the bottles. This inspiration led him to team up with leading international perfumers, who interpreted different aspects of the brand's unique character.
The brand has entrusted Stoelzle Masnières with the exclusive production of the glass and decoration of these refillable bottles, which, like the world of Dries Van Noten, have a striking visual appeal.
For Dries Van Noten Beauty, integrity and sustainability are the basis of everything that is developed.

All their products are designed to be refillable and have less impact on the environment.
the environment. The bottles contain 11.6 % of recycled industrial glass (PCR glass). What's more, two of the line's bottles are powder-coated with Stoelzle's exclusive Quali Glass Coat 2.0 decoration technique, in line with an eco-responsible approach.
Dries Van Noten's bottles can be seen in ten decor variations, eight of which are lacquered: Jardin de l'Orangerie, Neon Garden, Rosa Carnivora, Cannabis Patchouli, Voodoo Chile, Rock the Myrrh, Fleur du Mal, Soie Malaquais; and two are powder-coated (exclusive STO process, Quali Glass Coat 2.0): Raving Rose and Santal Greenery.
Since the launch of eaux de parfum and lipsticks, a whole collection of fashion and accessories has been developed to match the 10 existing bottles.
The Stoelzle team is proud to have been recognized as best in class at the Formes De Luxe luxury packaging innovation awards.

The standard Classic Slim bottle from Stoelzle Masnières Parfumerie was chosen by the Swiss brand of excellence La Colline for its new oil in the NativAge collection.
- The classic slim is a cylindrical bottle, rather thin, with a volume of 30ml.
- La Colline also trusted Stoelzle for the decoration of the bottle.

La Colline recently launched an oil to complement its NativAge collection, its signature collection designed to preserve skin's beauty, restore radiance and fight the signs of aging.
The NativAge oil, composed of several oils, is of natural origin at 95%. This oil is contained in a standard Stoelzle Masnières Parfumerie bottle of 30 ml, the Classic
Slim, a cylindrical bottle.
The glass bottle designed by Stoelzle is also decorated by the glass group in northern France.
3 finishing processes are applied: first, a crystal gold lacquering, on which a pinkish gold hot stamping is applied to inscribe the La Colline brand name. Then, a silk-screen printing in brown tones is done on the back and finally, in order to give the bottle a shiny aspect, a varnish is applied as a last layer, it also serves as a protection for the whole decoration.
The research of the color of the lacquering was a real challenge for Stoelzle Masnières Parfumerie, indeed, this research was long to enter the target of the customer and to reach the desired color with the oil contained in the bottle.
The oil is distributed in France and internationally, in retail outlets and on the Internet.

As part of its work on the circular economy, Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives has created the Re-Play range from the recovery of siliconized label materials (glassine). Through the creation of a dedicated industry, glassine has earned its credentials and become a resource in its own right. It is used in the manufacture of premium products and contributes to the reduction of waste and energy consumption.

This revolutionary new product line is the result of the valorization of glassine. This siliconized support, which is removed and discarded during the application phase of self-adhesive labels, is now collected from the end users. For the first time, the glassine becomes an integral part of the self-adhesive label of which it constitutes the noble part, the one that enhances the product and allows its identification.

The Re-Play product line marks a first in terms of waste recovery. More than just recycling, the process regenerates the waste and transforms it into a premium material with minimal impact. Re-Play includes four types of 100 % recycled papers: Nature White, Hammered, Retro and Pearl. All are FSC recycled certified, attesting to their composition and value as recycled and sustainable products. The manufacturing process is the result of an innovative technical process and involves a virtuous 100 % chain, from waste recovery to the use of the premium products in the range.

Re-Play stems from Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives' Re-Play glassine recovery program. "We decided to go down this path because it meets several of our ESG objectives in terms of waste reduction and CO2 emissions", explains Fulvio Capussotti, executive vice president of the Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives division. " LFedrigoni's goal is to integrate the end customer into this circular economy process and include the entire supply chain, starting with printers, who are the primary users of self-adhesive materials. In the area of recycling, we have signed a partnership with Papeteries de Clairefontaine, owners of a low-temperature pulping process powered by energy from biomass. The addition of glassines to white paper waste allows us to obtain a high quality product without having to resort to invasive de-inking processes, while making significant savings in raw materials.".

Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives is one of the five founding members of Celab-Europe. This consortium of currently 30 members is working on the development of a new business model for self-adhesive materials, based on the circular economy. One of the consortium's objectives is to collectively identify and implement recycling and reuse solutions for self-adhesive label glassines and waste by 2025 by developing a sustainable and circular model for more than 75 % of materials used in Europe. Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives' participation in the Celab-Europe consortium is part of a broader sustainability and innovation project that has led the group to commit to continuous improvement for nearly 30 years.

With its ESG 2030 goals, Fedrigoni aims to become an industry benchmark in environmental policy and one of the best workplaces in terms of safety, inclusion and career opportunities.
