Indena joins leading C&T resource centre

Plant-derived actives specialist Indena has joined Cosmetic Valley, the leading worldwide centre for resources in perfumes and cosmetics.

Cosmetic Valley, based around the Chartres area, is one of France’s “poles of competitiveness”, the other being Grasse in the country’s southeast. Supported by regional authorities, Cosmetic Valley coordinates a network of 300 companies, 178 research centres and 82 training institutes, all committed to innovation and breaking into international markets. By entering the Cosmetic Valley, the Milan-based company will have the opportunity to work with companies developing products based on the science of nature.

“This is an important step allowing us to get closer to the industry needs and better understand them,” said Christian Artaria, marketing director, Indena. “Our entrance in the Cosmetic Valley is a further confirmation of the strategic role played by the cosmetic sector in our business.”
