Cosmopack, the B2B international “show within the show” at Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna, will be back in Bologna from March 16-19, 2017. Cosmopack focuses on companies representing the entire beauty supply chain, from raw materials to formulation, from machinery to packaging. Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna, which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2017, will run from March 17-20.

Cosmopack 2017 is known for presenting initiatives and updates for decision makers of the most important beauty companies: CEOs, managing directors, corporate owners, purchase managers, product development, plant/operations, R&D managers. In Bologna, show organizers say that buyers and distributors from key markets will have the chance to find the most innovative formulations, the most exclusive collections of international contract manufacturers, avant-garde packaging and the latest automation solutions.

The Perfume Factory

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna, Cosmopack will present The Perfume Factory, in partnership with Accademia del Profumo and Cosmetica Italia—a virtual journey for visitors in the supply chain of a fragrance, from olfactory to maceration, from cartoning to cellophane. A limited edition fragrance celebrating the golden anniversary, will be produced with the collaboration of leading companies exhibiting in Cosmopack: ICR, Bormioli Luigi, Candiani, Aptar, Ima Group, Coven Egidio, Pusterla 1880. The Perfume Factory will be the stage to celebrate the 2017 finalists of the Award of Accademia del Profumo.

The Perfume Factory will be set-up inside Cosmoprime, a preview of Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna 2017 hosting international companies with a strong focus on retail, especially on premium perfumery. Cosmoprime will be held concurrently with Cosmopack from March 16 to 19. A new special area, BeOrganic, completely dedicated to companies producing organic beauty products will be based in Cosmoprime.

Cosmoprime will also host the International Buyer Lounge of Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna, with top buyers selected by the International Buyer Program. Exhibitors in Cosmoprof and Cosmopack will have the opportunity to take part in meetings with specific distributors and brands coming from key reference markets thanks to YOUMEET, the software created to facilitate Business-to-Business meetings.

The Cosmopack Wall Award

The Cosmopack Wall Award, celebrating its 4th edition, is where leading companies, both from Italy and from abroad, can present their most innovative projects and their latest technologies. ‘Let’s get emotional…’ is the concept for the 2017 edition: emotions awakened by a special package, a new texture or from a fragrance are becoming strategic factors in selling beauty products.

The Cosmopack Forum

The Cosmopack Forum will be the stage to depict the latest trends and the scenario of the beauty industry. Conferences and round-tables will be moderated by international experts of the sector. Innovation, technologies, sustainability and new markets will be some of the issues which will be analyzed with a glance on the future of the industry.

The 2016 Cosmopack edition registered the participation of 21,900 professionals with a significant presence of foreign visitors (48% coming from 109 countries).
