Formes de Luxe - Virojanglor Sarl

Virojanglor, a leader in metal packaging for the premium cosmetics and wine & spirits markets, has just acquired Interesting Sourcing, a French company specializing in the manufacture and global management of multi-material packaging.
Virojanglor and Interesting Sourcing have a similar business model, based on their long-standing and exclusive partnerships with leading-edge factories, and together they will continue to consolidate their position as key suppliers to the world of luxury packaging.

Historical commitment
Virojanglor is a family-owned French company founded in 1963. It has gradually built up a network of partners in Italy and China, whose know-how and industrial relevance have fuelled the premiumization of its offering over the last 10 years. With this in mind, the company has decided to extend the scope of its activities to include multi-material collaboration, in compliance with the required industrial standards.
Interesting Sourcing has been managing multi-material, packaging and P.O.S. projects for almost 30 years, thanks to a solid network of partners in China.

 New positioning, new markets
The aim of this alliance is to gain a better penetration coefficient among the major luxury groups, and thus increase business volumes. In addition, this synergy will enable Interesting Sourcing's technical and industrial potential to be placed at the service of customers in France and abroad. Virojanglor's strong brand image will enable it to make a significant move into new markets. Its consolidated sales will approach €25 million by 2018.
As part of this merger, Grégoire Levet, Chairman and founder of Interesting-Sourcing, will retain his operational management functions within the "multi-material products" division. He becomes a minority shareholder in the Virojanglor group.
"This merger is the sign of a new adventure, with the aim of growing our business in an increasingly premium market. It is now based on the cross-fertilization of plants at the cutting edge of the packaging industry for multiple materials such as metal, wood, cardboard and injected plastic. This new positioning meets the expectations of our premium markets in France and abroad", explain Jean-David Curiel, Chairman of the Virojanglor Group, and Grégoire Levet .

Finalist in the Sustainable Beauty Awards "Expanscience was selected in the "Sustainable leadership" category from over 100 entries, and looks back on the development of its assets.

For over 40 years, Laboratoires Expanscience has been highlighting the noblest part of the plant world by developing cosmetic active ingredients from a pharmaceutical culture and cutting-edge R&D.
As part of its CSR program, the "Better Living Program", Laboratoires Expanscience is committed to guaranteeing the eco-socio-design of all its active cosmetics by 2020. To achieve this, they are committed to providing information on their safety, harmlessness and environmental impact, in a transparent approach to their customers worldwide.

Measure and continuously improve the eco-socio-design of cosmetic active ingredients
As early as 2012, Laboratoires Expanscience developed a "sustainability" grid based on AFAQ 26000 recommendations to measure the socio-environmental impacts of the development of their cosmetic active ingredients.
Called "Ecodesign naturally", this grid evaluates and rates assets according to 7 criteria concrete :

  • the chain's traceability and maturity in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility,
  • the nature of the raw material,
  • the production process (nature of stages, nature of additives, solvent, etc.),
  • transportation,
  • storage conditions,
  • patentability,
  • the packaging used.

Expanscience's entire catalog of cosmetic active ingredients, i.e. 27 active ingredients and sensory ingredients, was evaluated. All 8 Expanscience active ingredients launched since 2014 score over 80/100 (including Ormesia, Neurovity, Pixalia and Passioline), and 78% of the active ingredients in the catalog score over 75/100.
In a continuous improvement approachThis tool enables us to define the socio-environmental criteria that can be improved, while preserving the quality and cosmetic performance of our active ingredients. For example, in 2018, the sourcing of its Soline active ingredient will become French; actions will also be put in place to obtain new organic active ingredients.

Actifs Cosmétiques, one of Expanscience's original activities
With over forty years' experience in the field of plant raw materials, and expertise in lipochemistry, molecular adistillation and plant extraction, Laboratoires Expanscience develops innovative cosmetic active ingredients with scientifically proven efficacy. These active ingredients benefit from biological and clinical tests, as well as patents and publications. They have all been developed by the company's Research and Development department.
" Upstream, Laboratoires Expanscience takes particular care to ensure that selection of plant raw materials and ethical sourcing practices "explains Armelle Le Peniec, Director of Actifs Cosmétiques Expanscience.
Expanscience has been a member of the UEBT (Union for Ethical BioTrade) since 2011, and has been deploying its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy for over ten years. This was recognized as exemplary by AFAQ 26000 in 2013. Keen to supply quality active ingredients that also respect the principles dictated by the Nagoya Protocol (a text that came into force on October 12, 2014), Expanscience anticipated these rules as early as 2010 by defining its own responsible plant supply chain policy.

Skeyndor - Skin

High-end beauty specialist Skeyndor celebrates 50 years of innovative skincare. To mark this anniversary, the brand has launched Timeless Prodigy, an anti-aging range that combines luxury and science to slow cell aging and promote youthful gene expression. The serum and cream are presented in special anniversary edition packaging, developed and manufactured by Quadpack.
Timeless Prodigy - The Cream with a bespoke jar, manufactured by Quadpack Plastics, Quadpack's injection molding plant near Barcelona, Spain. The 50-ml acrylic jar features a thick base, the underside of which is varnished in a hot pink that transmits its color to the transparent jar. The inner tub is made of formula-compatible polypropylene, and its metallized outer wall is visible through the outer jar.
The five-piece cap, lined with matt aluminum and weighted internally, is a true work of art. It is crowned by a shiny metal plate with eight nails and the Skeyndor logo engraved in the center. All metal parts are in the same champagne pink that characterizes the range.

Time Prodigy - The Serum is presented in Yonwoo's 50 ml airless packaging, which protects the complex formula from external contamination. The custom cap is weighted and sheathed in aluminum, with the same decorative treatment as the jar.

Skeyndor worked closely with the production process throughout the development stage of the project. The brand worked with Quadpack's packaging experts to achieve the desired results.

Verescence, the world leader in bottles for the perfume and cosmetics industries, inaugurated on November 14th a new oven and presented the numerous improvements made on its site in Mers-Les-Bains (Somme).
As part of the "Excellence 2018" program and more specifically "Mers 2018" dedicated to the transformation of the Mers site, a budget of 30 million euros has been allocated to modernize the plant, including 11 million for the reconstruction of furnace 6.
Inaugurated after major work that reduced energy consumption by 15% and CO2 emissions by more than 40%, the reconstruction of furnace 6 reflects one of the axes of the group's CSR strategy in reducing its environmental impact.
This furnace is the largest in the group and one of the largest bottle furnaces in the world with a production capacity of 700,000 bottles per day. It produces Xtra White glass, a glass of exceptional quality highly appreciated by the perfume industry for its brilliance and transparency.
The reconstruction was also an opportunity to modernize the entire production area by making numerous improvements in terms of both efficiency and working conditions. This has been complemented by other developments offering more modern and pleasant working and rest areas for the site's employees.
Verescence is the only glassmaker in its sector to have obtained certification for Good Manufacturing Practices for cosmetics on all its sites in Europe, in order to meet the increasingly demanding expectations of its customers.

DuPont Surlyn, a source of inspiration for the Haute École d'Art et de Design de Genève

Gpack - Geneva University of Art and Design

With the recent launch of two new grades, the Surlyn palette has reached a new milestone in the range of possibilities available to designers. So it's only logical that DuPont should join forces this year with Geneva's Haute École d'Art et de Design (HEAD) to organize the first edition of the "Be Surlyn® and Design" competition, offering student designers the famous resin as a source of inspiration.

Innovation and creativity will be the watchwords of this first edition of the competition, organized in partnership with the trend agency Beautystreams. A dozen students in the second year of HEAD's Bachelor of Arts in Product, Jewellery and Accessory Design program will take up the challenge of creating a brand-new perfume cap design in Surlyn. The jury, made up of representatives of major perfume and cosmetics brands, will be chaired by Thierry de Baschmakoff. According to the designer, "the bottle is the link, the object that binds the visual identity of the brand with the essence of the perfume. The fragrance is ephemeral, but the container remains. That's why brands pay particular attention to the bottle and cap. Aware of the importance of packaging, the DuPont technical and marketing team supports brands from the very beginning of their projects, and well beyond product launch. Innovation in materials, the diversity of decoration techniques and the efficiency of developments ensure agility for brands that choose to work with the Surlyn palette.

It's in this spirit of creative freedom that the students will be working over the course of November and December to take up the "Be Surlyn®" challenge and present their creations early next year. To help them in their thinking, the Beautystreams agency has unveiled three major beauty trends for the autumn-winter 2018 season, which the students can draw inspiration from for their designs. "Behind every packaging design lies a story. Take inspiration from the trend projections to create your own universe and tell your story," encouraged Michele M. Superchi, Marketing & Sales Manager for Beautystreams. The DuPont team, for its part, will provide personalized technical support throughout the project, as Guillaume Beyrath, Technical Manager in the cosmetics team, points out: "Just as we do with brands, we want to support student designers in their approach, to ensure the feasibility of their projects. Surlyn is a learned material. Any new creation requires a thorough understanding of the material's technical, sensory and aesthetic specifications. It's up to us to guide the students as best we can, to ensure the optimal realization of their projects.

The kick-off was given by Thierry de Baschmakoff on November 6, 2017 at DuPont's European Technical Center in Meyrin in the presence of all the partners. "Working directly with a company such as DuPont is a great opportunity for students to discover the industrial world, what happens after their designs," emphasized François Dumas, designer and associate professor at HEAD. "We're looking forward to this adventure with the HEAD students. The winner will see his or her project come to fruition, and we will invest in the production of the winning design. We're convinced that, with its unique properties, Surlyn® will enable students to think through materials, and surprise us with their creations," says Maria Carcolé, EMEA Marketing Leader Perfumes & Cosmetics at DuPont.
