Munich has multiple ties to the cosmetics industry. On one hand, there’s the presence of the major player in cosmetic packaging, Corpack, which is consistently pushing the envelope. On the other, there’s CosmeticBusiness – a massively influential trade show that’s at the forefront of promoting German products to international retailers. Corpack, a company with over three decades of industry expertise, has been pioneering brand new products, solutions and approaches to cosmetic packaging. Founded in 1995, Corpack embraces bold designs, innovation and relentlessly pursues sustainability in all that it does. Headquartered in Munich, Corpack specializes in comprehensive packaging solutions for skin, body and hair care as well as color cosmetics and fragrances. Beyond offering standard components, Corpack stands out by providing customizable options, tailoring designs to meet the unique needs of clients who seek a personalized touch. The company actively works to reduce and simplify primary packaging, introducing materials like Mixcycling® Sughera (cork-based material) and Cellulose-based biodegradable plastic ""BioD."" By minimizing the use of petroleum-based plastics, Corpack aligns its practices with eco-friendly initiatives. CosmeticBusiness is the only international trade fair of its kind in the city and brings together cosmetics companies and suppliers. The fair fosters collaboration in the development, production, packaging and marketing of cosmetic products. Munich becomes the central hub for decision makers and provides insights into the latest trends and industry dynamics. A noteworthy development was the expanded exhibition area dedicated to ingredients. With 148 exhibitors – a third larger than the previous year – CosmeticBusiness showcased the pivotal role of ingredients in driving innovation. Industry visitors had the opportunity to explore a diverse range of ingredients. CosmeticBusiness serves as an indispensable barometer for industry decision makers. The event covers the entire cosmetics value chain from ingredients such as active components and natural extracts to manufacturing processes, packaging materials and essential services like testing, certification and distribution.
