Albéa, a leading packager headquartered in France, announced the acquisition of Eyelematic, an expert in the manufacture of metal parts as well as plastic injection, decoration, anodizing and assembly. Eyelematic has three plants located in Connecticut and has a diverse portfolio for the cosmetic, skincare and perfume sector.

The acquisition of Eyelematic enables Albéa to add to the group’s broad range of capabilities with the integration of metal forming. Possessing this know-how is a major advantage in the world of beauty and Albéa customers will now benefit from an even greater choice of solutions to support their needs, according to the company.

“This acquisition fits perfectly with Albéa’s development dynamics,” says François Luscan, Albéa President & CEO. “Our ambition is to construct a solid, global platform for growth. We are exploring acquisition opportunities to offer our customers high added value by strengthening our presence in emerging countries and widening our product range through the integration of complementary fields of expertise.”

With the integration of Eyelematic, Albéa now has 34 sites in 13 countries and offers a wide range of packaging solutions for the make-up, skincare, perfume and oral care sector.
