Another division of the company specialised in plastic and metal closures for cosmetics and perfumes and generates approximately $95MM - $17MM of which comes from American operations.

The sampling division is a world leader in the design of innovative, high quality sampling products for the cosmetics, fragrance and personal care industries.
