Arexim, the "packaging gateway between Eastern and Western Europe", has released a study on the benefits packaging companies can receive by providing service to the Russian market, a large developing region in need of high quality products and services.

Having overcome the economic recession, the Russian skin care market, for example, is entering a new period, expecting a 37% rise by 2013 that creates an overwhelming demand for cosmetic packaging among local cosmetic manufacturers.

Despite the fact that Russian packaging producers are increasingly investing in modern technologies, 80% of Russia's packaging is of foreign origin. Some well-known European companies have built plants in Russia, like Weener or Promens, to avoid transportation costs and other logistic issues. However, for many European packaging companies that wish to do business in Russia, the challenge still seems daunting and replete with uncertainty.

Arexim is perfectly positioned to act as the intermediary between packaging suppliers and purchasers between two regions:

• Since 1994, Arexim Packaging has served to facilitate operations for international companies looking for new business opportunities in Eastern Europe.
• The result of Arexim's efforts has been over 15 years experience in successfully joining East and West, with over 30 packaging suppliers from 10 countries on board doing business. The company's client base features 20 of the largest local cosmetic manufacturers like Faberlic, Nevskaya Kosmetika, IQ Cosmetic, Vesna, Magrav, etc, and more than 300 small cosmetic producing companies.
• Partner products are widely promoted at the most popular exhibitions in Russia every year.
• Efficient and productive logistic systems are Arexim's priority. All suppliers with which the company works deliver goods to the Arexim warehouse in Poland where the process of delivering to clients in Russia begins.
• Arexim's long-term experience and broad knowledge of the Russian cosmetic market ensure customers choose the best packaging for their products, considering the target market expectations and budget as well as the latest trends in the packaging world.
