Quite an impressive performance, in five years only, for this company based in Crema about sixty kilometres south of Milan. Starting at square one in 2009, the turnover of Ancorotti Cosmetics this year will reach 24 million euros for a total staff of a hundred people. The company gradually expanded in the industrial area of the small Italian town to finally use no less than nine sites representing a total area of 14,000 sqm. The latest to have been invested, a 2,000 sqm building which has been, since September, the Group’s administrative headquarters. Mascara, lipgloss, powders and a whole range of products for the skincare market: the young firm’s strategy is still geared to conquering new markets.

24 million euros!

"With powders alone,” explains Renato Ancorotti, President, “we will achieve this year a turnover of 4 million euros." I must say that the technological choice, of relying on "100% back injection" played an important part. No less than twelve machines were installed in Crema in the last twenty four months. "A great technique" emphasises Ancorotti. "A technique, which enables to produce high performance products in terms of finish, texture and application. Not to mention the high accuracy and reliability in production and, especially, its cleanliness."

The current production capacity of Ancorotti Cosmetics per shift, is no less than ten million pieces/year. Quite enough to cope with future requirements! "We are at the beginning," confirms the head of the Italian firm. "This type of product is bound to become a standard. Now we are going to develop it and promote it with new formulas, new effects.”
