The Pochet Group is continuing to move forward with its transformation and is creating a buzz with

the products and services it has to offer. It is pursuing its aim of bringing to life its customers

packaging dreams.

The creative expertise of the Group’s three departments, Pochet du Courval, Qualipac and Solev, is

spread over 18 sites worldwide and serves the greatest names in the fragrance and cosmetics sectors.

Looking to the future, the Pochet Group has achieved great projects this year, bringing to fruition the

following major ones:

- The opening of our Qualipac Shanghai site, a major step in our development in Asia, with a

modernised platform delivering the highest industrial standards serving both local and international

brands.

- The implementation of our new furnace in the Pochet du Courval glass factory, an investment worth

14 billion euros. This highly efficient furnace is fully operational, producing glass of an exceptional

quality with first-rate environmental standards, and enhanced industrial performance.

- The creative alliances of our expertise have resulted in extreme technical prowess like the

development of Olympéa by Paco Rabanne bottle or the prestigious Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond

cosmetic jar by Estée Lauder (details can be found in our press kit)

2016 will see an increase in the transformation tempo with numerous initiatives, four of which we

would like to share with you now:

The first one is the Airless Pure Drop, a combination of high performance airless technology and

the greatest freedom to customise products in the skincare market. It is being introduced exclusively

at this edition of Luxe Pack with our partner Samhwa. Then we have Simglass 3D software

technology, which helps reducing the development leadtime and incertitude that accompanies all

creative processes. Years and years of expertise can be found in one digital simulation tool that

replicates the industrial reality of bottle-making with maximum precision, without having to

necessarily enter into the trial phase.

A huge investment programme will accompany the development and modernization of our

production tools worldwide. Close to 200 million euros will be invested over a four year period. And

last but not least, a new Maison Pochet is being launched. In just a few weeks time, our new

headquarters will house the Pochet Group teams on one unique site.

So it is with determination that the Pochet Group is bringing its commitments to fruition and is

speeding up its development by way of an ambitious investment and production programme to

become the preferred supplier of its customers. A new momentum is in play thanks to a wide range

of solutions on offer this year and in those to come.

Innovation and industrial excellence, through an organisation committed to growth by uniting its

expertise, are the values at the heart of Maison Pochet, serving the world’s greatest luxury brands.

The clean and pure lines of the bottle, producedby Pochet du Courval, are emphasised by theperfect mastering of the glass distribution. Thebottle’s metallic steel blue shaded laquering is the work of Solev. Subtly engraved into thebottle base is the CD logo which echoes the oneon the cap.

The technically complex shape of the bottle andthe perfectly mastered rounded glass distribu-tion are the signature work of Pochet du Courval.The perfectly reproduced laurel leaves embossedon the smooth, and flawless glass provide theideal surface for Solev to implement a “rose

gold” coloured complex metallization technique,achieved by hiding the sides and base of the bottle.

This precious shade also embellishes the collarand cap produced by Qualipac. The cap boasts acast-moulded zamak base with a Surlyn resindome resting on top of it, giving a harmoniousfinish to the ensemble.

Capacity: 80 ml

Executed by Qualipac, the cap is made of aluminium with a magnetic closing system, automatically repositioning the logo to line upwith the CD logo on the base and the screen-printing on the front and back of the bottle.

The luxurious detail that completes the ensemble is the emblematic “CD” that can bedeciphered in both directions on the glass as wellas on the metal.

Capacity: 60 ml - 100 ml

ESTÉE LAUDER, RE-NUTRIV ULTIMATE DIAMOND

A reflection of the skincare’s high performance,the luxury glass jar produced by Pochet du Cour-val has a diamond-like facetted base. The glassclarity and purity is magnified by the golden glowof the plastic cup made by Qualipac and metal-lized by Solev. The assembly realized by Pochet

PURE DROP, “THE INFINITE AIRLESS EVOLUTION“OR THE FUTURE OF SKIN CARE BY THE POCHET GROUP AND SAMHWA.

The Pochet Group and Samhwa Plastic have chosen Luxe Pack Monaco to unveil their partnership centred on PURE DROP, the high-end airless pump that combines the best tech-nology and performance available with thefreedom to customize products to suit individualneeds in the increasingly developing Skin Caresector.

The freedom of the airless pump in the luxurygoods sector:

PURE DROP is the product of a paradox ; although airless is the type of packaging bestsuited to distributing complex or fragile cosmetic formulas, it is comparatively under-represented in the luxury goods sector as it is limited by a field of considerable aesthetic andpractical constraints.

“Airless represents the future of Skin Care and isan excellent solution for ensuring the protectionof skin care formulas facing increasingly strict regulations and the growing expectations ofconsumers. We have endeavoured to find a solution to free airless from these constraints”states Tristan Farabet, Managing Director of thePochet Group.

Indeed, PURE DROP is the solution to two typesof aesthetic and practical constraints, offeringthe most famous brands: • A system that gives them the total freedom of

packaging design whilst fully benefitting fromthe combination of materials and savoir-faireof the Pochet Group,

• Technical capabilities that go beyond the stateof the art materials boundaries.

“PURE DROP has the ability to distribute highviscosity formulas with high restitution rate andperfectly controlled dosage, combined with a rewarding technical image for increasingly sophisticated high-end formulas that use fragileand precious ingredients” explains Sung HwanCho CEO of Samhwa Plastic.

The Pochet Group and Samhwa, a partnershipthat creates values:

PURE DROP has inherited the technical expertise of Samhwa Plastic, a pioneer in airlesstechnology in South Korea and the unique capacity of the Pochet Group to combine deco-rative materials and technology to make thedreams of the finest beauty brands come true.

“We have been working on this partnership foralmost two years. The Pochet Group aims togrow in the skincare and cosmetics sectors of thefinest brands worldwide, drawing on its capacityto innovate and open onto value-creating ecosystems” states Tristan Farabet.

State of the art materials in the airless sectorwere to be found in South Korea where the Pochet Group met Samhwa. They had a conver-gence of interest that rapidly led to mutual trustbetween the two parties.

“We ourselves had committed to strategic thinking on the future development of our com-pany and in particular its international develop-ment, oriented towards the luxury goods sector.We were also looking for a partner in the westwho was well established in this market and capable of supplementing our skills in the highlysophisticated technologies of decorative finishing” explains Sung Hwan Cho.

The converging visions linked to deep-rooted values in family traditions naturally led the Pochet Group and Samhwa to sign a 50/50 jointventure centred on developing and promotingthe PURE DROP airless programme, ensuringstrong growth potential in this sector. It also enabled them to reflect on how to expand thispartnership to include other categories and markets.
