Knowlton Development Corporation (kdc\/one), a provider of custom formulation, packaging design, and manufacturing services, has partnered with Clarion Group, a contract manufacturer, to establish a new joint venture (JV) in India.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This collaboration, named kdc\/one Clarion Beauty, will focus on providing advanced solutions for beauty packaging production and formulation development.<\/p>\n

The venture will address the region\u2019s packaging needs for colour cosmetics, skincare, and personal care, combining Clarion\u2019s expertise in the local market with kdc\/one\u2019s global innovation and formulation capabilities.<\/p>\n

kdc\/one beauty and personal care global president Sandra Wisniewski said: \u201cWe are delighted to join forces with Clarion Group and combine our individual and collective strengths to enable brand owners to grow their global business in the fast-developing Indian marketplace.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to bringing the bespoke packaging design, quality and development credentials of both kdc\/one and HCT, and benefitting from Clarion\u2019s significant track record in India, highly strategic personal care manufacturing footprint and deeply experienced local management team.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of the JV, the partners will build a new manufacturing facility in the Indian state of Gujarat over the next year.<\/p>\n

This facility will be dedicated to the production of injection-moulded and metallised beauty packaging to meet the growing demands of the domestic market.<\/p>\n

Clarion Group chair K N Lakshmanan said: \u201cOur two companies not only have complementary manufacturing, formulation and packaging strengths in the beauty and personal care products sector, but we also share a commitment to providing the highest level of innovation, quality, service, agility and regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited by the huge potential of this joint venture and believe that together, we will be the partner of choice for brand owners, and I believe the dream for brand owners, whether they are already operating in the Indian market or looking to enter the region, we aim to help bring their vision to life.\u201d<\/p>\n

In October last year, kdc\/one reached an agreement<\/a> to acquire Laffon, an Italian company specialising in makeup packaging.<\/p>\n
