Facility doesn’t compete with today’s specialistions


Nivea producer Beiersdorf AG is to end cosmetics production at its unit in Baden-Baden. The site is operated by Produits de Beaute Produktions GmbH.

Conditions for manufacturing cosmetics have changed in recent years and the level of capacity utilisation has declined. An analysis of the operation indicated that there was little possibility of the currently highly specialised production being competitive in the context of the group's global production network. The plant will be sold within the next six months and in the event that no investor is found, production and logistics operations will be closed down in the medium-term.

Spain – Bleak perspectives

The country\'s economic woes mean Spanish consumers are trading down, opting for value, yet increasingly diverse private label products from stores like Mercadona and El Corte Inglés. This said, premium brands are responding with renewed focus on innovation. And although corporate deal activity has been muted, this year saw Barcelona based supplier Lipotec acquire Lubrizol. Meanwhile, to balance slow domestic spend, Spanish brands are increasingly relying on export markets
