Matteo Moretti, CEO Lumson

Premium Beauty News - A few words on Lumson?

Matteo Moretti - Since 1975, we design, develop, produce and customize packaging solutions (mostly “standard”) for the cosmetic market. We offer all possible solutions in glass or plastic, whether they are bottles, jars, pumps, caps, closures, etc.

Our main asset is to control the whole production chain, from moulds to bottles including pumps, plus all the decoration techniques. Thus, it all started in 1995 when we decided to design and produce our first cosmetic pump from scratch. In 1998, we got the ISO 9001-2000 certification. And in 2009 we devised our famous “TAG” concept. The first airless system integrated in a glass bottle. Then in 2011 the PMP Ltd Company joined us and in 2012 we obtained the ISO 14001 certification.

Premium Beauty News - TAG is THE turning point for Lumson. From where/who came up the idea?

Matteo Moretti - I must admit.... it came from me! The principle may seem simple, but it’s not! However, I will remain voluntarily discreet. The system is patented and, as you know, no one is allowed to visit our workshop. However, I can tell you about the many advantages offered by the system. It is of course completely airless and enables an exceptionally high evacuation rate. It works perfectly with highly viscous formulations. The filling system, from the top, is quick and easy and requires no special tooling. All the glass finishing techniques are possible. The plastic part can be easily separated from the glass part which allows having a fully recyclable packaging. The pump works in all positions (360°).

Premium Beauty News - In any case, the success is the one expected, with a series of launches.

Matteo Moretti - It is true! Many cosmetic brands have trusted us. The latest to date, La Roche Posay. For its product “Substiane Serum +”, the company chose a 30ml glass bottle with an inner white coating (Glass Enhancer finish), a UV matt silver metalized pump and a white actuator, topped with a transparent cap. I can also tell you about the new remodelling serum that reshapes facial contours by the Elemis company who chose a bottle with a dark grey coating to achieve a metal finish and create a play of light and reflections with the décor made from silkscreened white enamel.

Premium Beauty News - What are the next steps for Lumson?

Matteo Moretti - We are of course working on several important projects. What I can tell you today is that make-up is a very important subject for us and that we will very shortly introduce new concepts.
