Founded in Paris in 1937, SACI-CFPA has been a key player in the distribution of ingredients for the cosmetics industry for decades. The acquisition of SACI-CFPA in 2019 by the Japanese Sumitomo Corporation and the acquisition by SACI-CFPA of the Personal Care department of Summit Pharmaceuticals Europe, in Düsseldorf, Germany, has enabled the distributor to expand its business in Europe.
SACI-CFPA became Summit Cosmetics Europe on April 1, 2023, with the aim of satisfying customers by harmonizing the global activities of Sumitomo Corporation’s cosmetics division.
