Solidly established in France, with three of its four production workshops and its Research and Development laboratory, Sarbec Cosmetics continues to invest in the country. It has just invested €25 million in the extension of its Neuville-en-Ferrain site, in the Hauts de France. It plans to recruit 150 new employees between now and 2025 in order to strengthen its team of 300 employees already present on site.
By doubling the surface area of its northern site to 50,000 m2, Sarbec Cosmetics has also doubled its production capacity from 80 million to 160 million units per year. Across its four production sites, the group now has a total capacity of 250 million products per year.
The new plant in Neuville-en-Ferrain was designed to produce eco-responsible packaging and products. It is now able to offer wipes made from a compostable plant-based fibre as well as plant-based bottles made from a biosourced raw material derived from recycled plant oils, which can be recycled in the traditional channel.
The new site is part of an initiative to reduce the carbon footprint thanks to concrete actions: energy impact reduced by 20% thanks to its high-performance equipment, energy consumption divided by three in winter thanks to a heat recovery system, 80% reduction in energy consumption with low-energy lighting.
