Ambition, Flexibility, Innovation
BRB offers greater flexibility and quicker turnaround than its competitors. At the same time, BRB's focus on base R&D, technical field support and unique, customized products differentiates BRB from smaller suppliers and middleman distributors. The development of BRB International BV has always been organic, due to its focus on innovations and to a problem-solving approach in its markets.
In the personal care industry, technical support from ingredient suppliers brings added value to customers in this world of increasingly complex cosmetic formulations. In May 2013, to meet this demand, BRB hired a Personal Care Technical Service Manager based on our silicone technical platform near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where BRB is currently extending its research, production and warehousing facilities. Since then, BRB Silicones has developed creative and innovative guide formulations and provided technical service to BRB customers across the globe.
Since then, the Personal Care Division of BRB Silicones has strengthened its European distribution network and started sales in Latin America. Therefore, as of 2015, March 1st, Clara Gil Navarro will join BRB Silicones as Personal Care Technical Service Manager for Europe & Latin America. She will develop customized guide formulations and provide technical service and troubleshooting to BRB customers in these two regions. She will be based in Europe where BRB is headquartered.
Clara Gil Navarro has four years of experience in the personal care industry, working in a technical service role in the area of silicone ingredients. Her broad cosmetic ingredients experience will be crucial for our customers to optimize the usage of our silicone range in tailor-made beauty care regional formulations.
