CFIC Orléans 2024

An original concept designed for the entire value chain


A showcase on a human scale, the CFIC is a unique event,
100% tailor-made for the cosmetics industry!

The result of GL events' close collaboration with COSMED, CFIC is the only event in the industry to offer the entire value chain. It  brings together all company departments, from managers, R&D, purchasing and industrial directors to marketers, to discuss environmental innovations in 4 areas of the value chain: ingredients with high environmental and social added value, industrial supplies and equipment, new-generation solutions and services, packaging and packaging of the future. 

 Whether it's a question of complying with current or forthcoming regulations, or anticipating consumer expectations, CFIC enables companies to identify all the solutions they need to adapt their production facilities, product formulations or packaging... 

4 themes 

will allow you to decipher the exhibitors' offer, existing solutions and ideas for a more responsible cosmetics industry

- Co-products, upcycling 
 - Reuse: refills, bulk, deposits 
 - Resource management / Waste sorting ...

Water conservation

- Quantitative: Economy, sobriety, anhydrous cosmetics? 
- Qualitative: Pollution, rejection ...

Low-carbon

Positive/regenerative nature / biodiversity

 A travelling event, CFIC takes its exhibitors to meet manufacturers in the heart of France's industrial regions. After a 1st edition in the Rhône Alpes region, CFIC will be visiting the Centre Val de Loire region, a major hub for cosmetics and perfumery companies, on December 3&4, 2024 in Orléans (Parc des expositions)!

THE COSMETICS INDUSTRYin Center Val de Loire

 111 production facilities 
 + over 7,500 employees

Brands such as Parfums Christian Dior, Shiseido, Procter & Gamble, Gemey-Maybelline, Pierre Fabre Dermocosmétique, Reckitt Benckiser, SCA Packaging, Lancaster, Guerlain, LVMH Recherche, Alban Muller...
Climate issues, resource conservation, digital transition, responsibility towards future generations... these are just some of the challenges facing manufacturers.

Cosmetics companies are engaged in a profound transformation of their industrial model in order to limit their impact on the environment while preserving biodiversity. 

 Our role, as a community facilitator, is to support all players in the industry (own brands, laboratories, manufacturers, processors, subcontractors, research centers, etc.) in their product innovation strategy (container/content) and the adaptation of their production sites.
CFIC, the industry's new meeting place, enabled the 3,200 visitors to the Lyon 2023 event to find concrete solutions to meet these commitments.
