The Lumson Group Aims to Strengthen Its Position in the skin care Segment
Founded in 1975 by Cavalier Remo Moretti and currently led by Matteo Moretti, the parent company recently undertook a significant move by selling Marino Belotti srl, a company specializing in the design, development, and production of compact cosmetic cases for the prestige and masstige segments. This operation realigns the group's goal of concentrating on skin care while maintaining a strong focus on the makeup industry.
Why did you decide to further enhance your presence in the skin care segment?
"As numbers and trends show, the skin care market is set to grow on a long-term trajectory," explains President Matteo Moretti. "It is a business sector with great potential, and for the Lumson Group, it represents a natural evolution focused on growth and innovation. The Group boasts a long history of expertise in dispensing systems, excellence in decorated glass, the production of plastic, paper, and aluminum bottles, and closure systems for every type of cosmetic container. Additionally, Lumson has immense technical and production capabilities with a focus on sustainability. Therefore, we decided not only to maintain our position in this segment but to strengthen it, obviously without losing sight of the makeup sector, for which we produce high-quality packaging for lipsticks, foundations, and other products that we are currently working on."
How does the "Marino Belotti srl" operation fit into this business strategy?
"It represents another essential step in the process toward industrial specialization and strengthening of our financial capacity," emphasizes Moretti. "The Lumson Group boasts five operational sites in Italy, branches in France, the United States, Spain, Germany, and Poland, over 600 employees, a consolidated turnover exceeding 140 million euros, and post-deal financial leverage that positions us to seize any potential development opportunities in our primary cosmetic packaging sector, with particular specialization in liquid formulations."
What are the Group’s medium and long-term goals?
"The goal is to continue to be faithful to the philosophy that has always set us apart: conducting business responsibly and ensuring our actions create a virtuous cycle, positively impacting both the community and the environment. Ultimately, we aim to offer innovative products (glass airless systems, reusable containers, and refills with sustainable materials, etc.) that meet market demand and, at the same time, through our years of experience, we are committed to supporting our clients in developing respectful, functional, and cutting-edge solutions. We intend to play our part in promoting positive change in the beauty and packaging industry."
What are the next steps?
"At the upcoming trade shows, we are going to present new solutions centered on sustainability, a cornerstone of our company that inspires all of our products. We believe that every innovation or technological upgrade must come with strong environmental awareness of its impact and a sense of responsibility towards the area where we operate."
What do you expect in terms of growth from this strengthening policy?
"So far, we believe we have made thoughtful choices that meet the market's needs and most importantly, the needs of our customers. Every challenge has always been faced as an opportunity for growth and improvement. Even in this historical moment, we are convinced we have taken the right path, the one most aligned with our values and especially our natural inclination. As already emphasized, sustainability isn’t just a choice for us but a way of life. 'Green, eco-friendly' topics and skin care focused on the pursuit of well-being and naturalness will continue to play a prominent role for a long time. For this reason, we are confident that the market will reward those who, like the Lumson Group, firmly believe in these principles and place them at the core of their business."
