Guillaume Bellissen’s New Role at Pure Trade

As Pure Trade celebrates its 30th anniversary, they have appointed Guillaume Bellissen to the position of Business and Strategic Development Director. The luxury packaging specialist for beauty and fragrance houses says it is “strengthening its leadership team to pursue the structuring program under way since AGIC Capital acquired a stake in the company in 2023.

Bellissen’s goals include accelerating the Group’s structuring, optimizing processes to shorten clients’ time to market, strengthening its international presence (including acquisitions), and pursuing the diversification of its offering, in both products and markets. He joins the leadership team alongside Stefane Ladous, Founder and President, and Virginie Honoré, Managing Director.

Bellissen began his career in consulting and finance before moving into the packaging industry. At SGD and subsequently Verescence, he contributed to the group’s financial restructuring before taking on sales and marketing responsibilities across Europe and the US, rising to Senior Sales Director. In July 2023, he joined the Texen group as Director of Sales and Marketing and a member of its executive committee. He has an international career, in the US, Spain, and Italy, which has given him “an in-depth understanding of beauty and fragrance houses as well as of the industrial constraints of luxury packaging.”
