They were there to testify in 2017!

Andrea Spinosa COTY: It is a wonderful opportunity to network. What really counts is that you meet a lot of suppliers in a short space of time and you can take stock of what has recently been launched in addition to meeting competitors and friends from other brands: juniors come to learn and discover new suppliers and more senior experts come to deal with pressing issues and hold targeted meetings.

Céline Dupont LOUIS VUITTON: I come to PCD to meet my suppliers and to discover new ones who are not necessarily in cosmetics but in other sectors of activity. For me, it is a source of innovation and inspiration. The conferences are extremely interesting, and I think they also attract visitors. The subjects are always enlightening; they concern both the environment and innovation so for us brands, they are truly worthwhile. The event provides an insight into what is happening on the market and its potential for growth is huge. For brands, it is very practical to come here because PCD features a concentrated wealth of information.

Rudolf Wurm HEINZ GLAS: We have been attending PCD since the very beginning and have seen it grow from year to year and broaden its scope. What makes it different is the numerous presentations that interest the sector and its location in Paris, which is so easy to access. PCD ranks high on our event schedule and it is out of the question that we do not attend. We will be back next year!

Sofiane Mameri SLEEVER: We have seen the event grow, from the Espace Champerret to the Porte de Versailles, and acquire an international dimension in addition to an innovation and know-how hub for aerosols of course, and also perfumes and cosmetics. For me, it is an intense networking area. Here, you have all the professionals in the sector on the spot for two whole days. You can thus take stock of upcoming design and pack innovation.

Xavier Camidebach FRENCH AEROSOLS COMMITTEE: Holding ADF and PCD at the same time creates synergy. It is a one-stop-shop: I come and see everyone in one fell swoop. Seeing what is happe ning in dispensing provides emulation for the aerosol business. Also, the Awards enable us to pinpoint trends.

Daniel Saclier TEXEN: PCD is an important date for two reasons: it is a meeting point for innovation which enables us to showcase what is new in packaging, in addition to explaining to our customers the comprehensive nature of our product proposal. It is thus an absolute must. Texen was one of the first suppliers involved in the event. PCD truly reflects what is new in packaging, in particular in terms of dispensing. Brands come for this combination of dispensing systems, primary packaging and formulation.

Thierry Bamberger CONSULTANT PACKAGING FOR L’OCCITANE: It is definitely the most intelligent event I have seen for a long time! PCD is a dream: professionals need this trade fair to see trends and all the leading suppliers in the space of one or two days.
