The French cosmetics brand is investing in the digital transformation of its manufacturing activities. Clarins aims to significantly increase its production capacities. The group will implement several Dassault Systèmes solutions in its Pontoise factory near Paris and its new production site in Troyes, France, that is scheduled to be operational in late 2024.

Dassault Systèmes is expected to provide Clarins with a unified manufacturing operations management solution to optimize resources, implement best practices and harmonize processes from planning to execution, while taking into account the specific capabilities of each site.

As part of its global development strategy, the Clarins Group is building a second factory in France: a state-of-the-art plant on two aspects, sustainable development and operational excellence. This project follows an ambitious and comprehensive Industry 4.0 road map. To support us, we looked for a global manufacturing solution to streamline and manage production, logistics and maintenance, as well as synchronize warehouse materials. The Dassault Systèmes solutions, with its extensive knowledge of our sector, provide us with the capabilities to succeed in our strategy,” said Denis Martin, Business Support Transformation Officer, Clarins.

Clarins will leverage “Perfect Production” to ensure a profitable growth of its operations while guaranteeing the quality of its product. Nearly 400 users will rely on the solution to boost capacity, quality and traceability by transitioning to a paperless work environment and by gaining real-time visibility of operations for performance monitoring and continuous improvement.
