We face a profoundly renewed scenario, and we must be ready to develop more significant synergies to meet the change. “
“OnBeauty by Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna reflects the needs of companies and operators to resume business activities, networking, and professional training, – says Enrico Zannini, General Manager of BolognaFiere Cosmoprof. – We are inviting top buyers, distributors, and international retailers with special formulas to grant a safe return to the most functional business processes for the sector. After months of webinars and digital content, we will bring the most authoritative experts and the most talented professionals back to our stages, to recover the intensity of live interaction”.
“The strategic importance of the entire cosmetics supply chain for the country system is now undoubted, -comments Renato Ancorotti, president of Cosmetica Italia – Personal Care Association. – It generates a recurring income, from production to machinery and packaging, without forgetting raw materials, distribution, logistics, and retail, of 33 billion euros. Creativity, inventiveness, the spirit of initiative, propensity for innovation, and the search for new solutions are certainly resources and qualities that our sector shares with BolognaFiere Cosmoprof, the historic partner alongside whom we have represented, for over 50 years, the many facets of the cosmetic industry in Italy and the world. For this reason, the September event in Bologna represents the first concrete opportunity to restart the dialogue between the main stakeholders in the sector. The Association will offer its full support in terms of presence and content highlighting the new habits of consumption, the latest dynamics of distribution and the global response of the sector to the emergency “.
