For Jay Kim, CEO of Cosmax International, "our main areas of international development are clearly oriented for the coming months on the strengthening our presence in the U.S. and on supporting the significant growth in the skincare and make-up market in South-east Asia, especially in China (40% of our activity). This explains our continuous investments to strengthen both our financial and human resources in these two regions. As for Europe, we, of course, also intend to increase our presence, especially commercially speaking, knowing that eventually, as I already had an opportunity to say in your columns, an industrial presence is not excluded in the longer term".

The Korean company, which is positioned as a total outsourcing company in both the niche of skin care and make-up, stresses this year on the importance of the service that it is entitled to provide its customers with, in terms of packaging development but also applicators. "This is essential, explained Jay Kim, innovation and quality in formulas are all the more valorised when the packaging is adapted and if we take into account the way they should be applied. Our customers and, in particular, our key international customers are expecting this type of service from us." Hence the opening this year in Korea, of the "packaging" dedicated Research and Innovation Centre which has all the necessary equipment.
