Texen Group and Sulapac enable elevated beauty moments for eco-conscious consumers around the world

Texen Group, the French mastermind in the luxury and beauty packaging industry, introduces Sulapac materials to its customers as part of its journey to master materials newly available. Texen Group’s packaging solutions made with biobased Sulapac® help beauty brands meet their sustainability targets while providing a first-class beauty experience for the consumer.

BRION, France (January 15th, 2024)

Texen Group, a French packaging solution provider with four decades of experience in serving the beauty industry, and the Helsinki-based material innovation company Sulapac have sparked a collaboration to provide customized cosmetic packaging made of biobased Sulapac materials. Along with its more traditional virgin and recycled feedstock alternatives, Texen Group now offers a broad range of Sulapac material grades with special focus on Sulapac Solid and the Sulapac Luxe material family launched last year.

Typical applications made with Sulapac® include injection molded caps and closures. Thanks to Texen Group's advanced technical capabilities and know-how, also highly complicated designs can be produced according to customers’ needs. The Group also provides comprehensive testing and decoration services, including metallization of Sulapac materials.

Ecological transition of packaging as the focus of its innovation strategy, Texen Group is committed to finding relevant technical and aesthetic solutions that respect the environment. ”Sulapac is a good example of a solution in which the high aesthetic and quality standards align with eco-responsibility. With Sulapac we can provide our customers market-leading products that bring additional value through pioneering eco-features,” says Denis Paccaud, Texen Group Innovation Director.

The key benefits of choosing a solution made with Sulapac material include reduced carbon footprint, cutting down the use of fossils, and the possibility to incorporate recycled content. The value of the collaboration for the consumer manifests as an elevated beauty moment with a sense of positive contribution to a sustainable future.

Texen Group has optimized its processes using Sulapac materials, ensuring product quality and operational agility for the customers in a similar manner to that achieved with more traditional feedstocks. “We welcome Texen Group as a distinguished ambassador of our brand, as the level of precision and unwavering commitment to excellence they have demonstrated truly brings the inherent characteristics of Sulapac materials into essence,” says Colin Strobant, Sales Director at Sulapac.

Texen Group is known for pushing the boundaries of what is possible to enrich the consumer experience. “We want to provide unique sensory experiences and bring that little extra, ‘the French touch’, to the beauty moment, “explains Julie Vergnion, Texen Group Marketing & Communication Director. “Sulapac materials have a distinctive premium feel which makes them a great addition to our portfolio”, she adds.

Through its commitment to operational excellence and ambitious approach to quality and innovation, Texen Group has had the privilege of partnering with the most prestigious names in the beauty world. Sulapac’s position as the trusted pioneer in sustainable materials within the high-end cosmetics sector has been demonstrated by successful collaborations with esteemed customers such as Chanel and Shiseido.

Together Texen Group and Sulapac aim to encourage current customers to expand the use of Sulapac materials into new products and invite new brands to explore the possibilities of replacing conventional plastic with sustainable Sulapac – to accelerate a cleaner tomorrow.
