Sederma Investing for Future Growth

Sederma, part of Croda International Plc. and the name behind high performance ingredients and technologies for the cosmetics industry, announces a €10 million investment at its facility in Le Perray en Yvelines, France. The investment will expand Sederma’s innovation and production capacity and further consolidate the company as the global market leader in beauty active ingredients.

Arnaud Fournial, Managing Director declared: “This expansion confirms our ambition to retain Sederma’s leadership as the premium provider of cosmetic ingredients for the personal care market. We will continue to offer superior innovation and technical support to our customers. This is an exciting period for everyone associated with Sederma and we look forward to further success in the future”.

Product quality continues to be central to Sederma’s product innovations and the new facilities will comply with the Cosmetic Ingredient Good Manufacturing Practice.
