From July 1, 2023, the activities of the two Italian companies, which are largely complementary, will come together 80 years after Bormioli Luigi was founded. The merger of Bormioli Rocco S.p.A into Bormioli Luigi S.p.A represents, according to Bormioli Luigi, "A fundamental milestone in the history of national glass.

The creation of an industrial division had already begun in 2017 with Bormioli Luigi's acquisition of Bormioli Rocco spa, as part of a long-term strategy aimed at devising innovative working methods: methods that motivate its employees and are tailored to the interests of customers.

This merger is a way for the Group to strengthen its structure and enrich its know-how by drawing on the cultures and synergies of both companies. As a result, the Group will benefit from more agile and flexible integrated processes, and more favorable profitability.

What's more, the merger will enhance the efficiency of strategic research, thanks to high-performance IT systems; the transformation will involve not only production and marketing, but also human resources, finance and supplies.

Bormioli Luigi in brief

• One of Italy's largest and most successful glass companies.
• International presence in sectors including the production of glass bottles and jars for the selective beauty market (perfumery, skincare and make-up), luxury bottles and decanters for tableware and the home.
• The company employs 2,800 people at four production sites in Italy and one in Spain, as well as at sales subsidiaries in the USA, Spain, Germany, France, Asia and Brazil.
• The group distributes in over 120 countries.
• The Group is stepping up the pace of its growth and development in order to consolidate its leading position in its areas of expertise.

Cosmogen's new collection of sponges for face and body care and make-up is made from bio-sourced polyurethane, a material composed of corn, cassava, sugarcane juice, castor oil and plant pigments.

On the care side, the face sponge is easy to use thanks to a fingertip insert, while the body sponge is generously sized. Their texture combines cleansing and light exfoliation with circular movements.

On the make-up side, sponges have a much finer texture, suitable for applying blush, concealer, foundation or illuminator. They can be used wet or dry, depending on the desired coverage. The two models, peach-shaped (2 sizes) or half-heart-shaped, each have a rounded and a pointed part, ideal for all situations.

Maison Berger was created by Maurice Berger, a pharmacy technician, at the end of the 19th century, to purify the air in hospital wards. Its catalytic diffusion system destroyed odors rather than masking them.

A unique French creation, with patented catalytic burner technology, the Berger lamp sells 480,000 units every year. 

New for 2023: the Berger Joy lamp. Maison Berger took advantage of Mother's Day to launch this new lamp by Sylvie de France.

A true decorative object, this lamp's color and relief add a touch of femininity to any interior. Designer Sylvie de France has signed a new collaboration with Maison Berger Paris, full of creativity and elegance, which Stoelzle Masnières Parfumerie is proud to produce. 

"The Berger Joy lamp is imbued with femininity. Its roundness brings softness and a touch of originality with its chiseled geometric details, etched into the glass for a precious decorative effect. The body of the catalytic lamp, like its finely-worked motifs, is highlighted by an old rose-colored lacquer. Discreet refinement and charm are the hallmarks of this object, whose main challenge was to allow for accommodations in the engraving, without altering the aesthetics, so that the lamp could be unmolded "says Stoelzle Masnières Parfumeri.

Durable and versatile, Woodacity - The complete Quadpack 100 % wood family, suitable for all brands and applications.

A complete range, 100 % wood, with virtually no plastic parts: the Woodacity family from international beauty packaging manufacturer and supplier Quadpack has grown since the launch of the pioneering perfume cap in 2021. Solutions include award-winning caps that work without inner layers, and refillable packaging systems that can be easily disassembled. The complete collection now includes lipsticks, compact cases, bottles and caps for perfume bottles, lotion packs and tubes.

Denisa Stircea, Wood Category Manager at Quadpack, comments: "We're very proud to have created a collection of Woodacity solutions covering almost every packaging need over the past two years. Part of the motivation for creating Woodacity was to optimize the end-of-life solution for wood as much as possible - and that's exactly what we've done. Woodacity is all-natural, non-toxic and beautiful - it's impossible not to fall under its spell! What's more, our original hoods remain the best technology available for all-wood closure systems."

The Woodacity collection, in full expansion, now includes the following references:

• Iconic Woodacity, a refillable lipstick in an all-wood case, developed with Aptar Beauty from its Iconic mechanism,
• Woodacity Glass & Wood, the embodiment of elemental power, combining elegant wooden caps with Crystal Chorus glass bottles (4 ml-100 ml) and Skin-Up bottles with pumps (15 ml and 30 ml) from Quadpack,
• Woodacity Legend, a refillable bottle featuring the patented Solo Twist system, with a modern look and feel and a large-format effect,
• Woodacity Idol, a super-chic compact rechargeable case designed for both left- and right-handers, with a reusable pocket mirror,
• Woodacity caps for lotion bottles, for bottles with standard 24/410 screw thread; for use with or without reducer, allowing consumers to pour directly from the bottle,
• Woodacity caps for tubes, ideal for use with single-layer or aluminum tubes.

All Woodacity solutions are made from wood sourced from sustainably managed European forests, supplied with optional PEFC or FSC certification. They are designed, produced, assembled and decorated at the Quadpack Wood factory in Spain, which itself manufactures using renewable energies, while the temperature control and wood drying ovens are powered by a biomass boiler using production waste. 

Each reference is designed and tested in-house by Quadpack Wood's team of experts, with a number of patented solutions, including its innovative closing systems - Solo Twist, Solo Push, Solo Turn and Solo Snap, each used with an intuitive gesture.

While each Woodacity component features a unique grain, brands can choose to enhance it using a wide variety of decoration options, from laser engraving, to multi-layer lacquering, burnt wood effect and gold leaf application. Quadpack will soon be able to offer exciting new finishes, enabling Woodacity solutions to adapt to our customers' creativity.

Ultimately, Woodacity was designed to inspire: bespoke designs can be created for exclusive solutions in harmony with nature.
