MWV´s latest insight driven packaging solutions bring brands and products to life in a highly customizable, sustainable, effective and engaging way.
MWV recently completed a manufacturing expansion in several plants in support of the Company´s increasing position in the beauty and personal care industry worldwide. Production upgrades in Barcelona include the transition to state-of-the-art, highly automated pump production and process improvements in assembly for the popular Melodie® fragrance pump, as well as the Pearl® and Pearl® Mini airless dispensers for personal care and cosmetics.
"We understand the importance of scaling our global position to meet the needs of our customers´ brands," said Thomas Jonas, president, MWV´s Beauty and Personal Care Division. "Our strategic expansion in Barcelona allows MWV to improve product consistency and supply chain efficiencies across Europe, North America, South America and Asia."
For the first time, MWV will showcase the latest innovative upgrade of the versatile and popular Sinfonia® pump. Known as Sinfonia® SR pump, this upgraded version is specifically engineered for naturally aggressive oils and solvents. The Sinfonia® SR pump is available in a wide range of finishes, aesthetics and outputs to easily customize the packaging.
Alongside the new Sinfonia® SR pump, MWV will also feature Adagio Airless pump, one of the first airless, high output cosmetic dispensers with a prestige look and feel. Perfect for applications such as facial treatments, serums and cleansers, the Adagio Airless dispenser offers smooth, easy actuation and a high evacuation rate in any position, including upside down.
"Our ongoing dialogue with customers and advanced foresight in consumer buying trends has led to continued innovation such as these expansions of Sinfonia SR and Adagio Airless pumps," said Laurent Bourgoin, vice president, European Sales and Marketing for MWV´s Beauty and Personal Care Division.
