Company Presentation

The Alfaparf Group is the world’s leading Italian beauty company in the professional channel.

Our Company was established in 1980, taking the first steps in the north of Italy, then in the 90s, we broadened our horizons beyond national borders, becoming the first Italian cosmetics company in the world in the professional channel.

Since our early beginnings, we have taken steps to create an independent and integrated group, attentive to innovation and market trends: our numerous brands and the number of international companies and leaders in the beauty market who rely on our expertise to develop projects and products for the hair and body are evidence of this.

Our business divisions constantly interact with each other, circulating skills and transforming them into the best responses to the evolution in the industry; by doing so, we continue to improve the quality of the service offered by professional operators, leaving a better world for future generations.

OUR HISTORY

We launched in 1980 thanks to the idea of Roberto Franchina, who, along with around ten people, began to design products in northern Italy for the hairdressing channel.

In the 90s we began the adventure abroad. The first exports were to Spain and Latin America, followed by the commercial branches and first factories opened in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Venezuela.

At the end of the 90s, Alfaparf Milano took the qualitative leap towards being a global benchmark company in the professional cosmetics market. In fact, in 2000, we completed the development of the Osio Sotto headquarters, a total area of 25 thousand square meters, where manufacturing and storage still take place today, as well as office space.

In the early 2000s, we expanded the two flagship factories (Mexico and Brazil) to reach their current size of about 30 thousand square meters. The Group’s international vocation has been confirmed and grown over the years with the opening of various branches in Latin America, the USA, and Australia.

Alongside the activities related to the Group’s brands, the Private Label business has also grown substantially. The production on behalf of third parties, especially in the colour area, has become a flagship thanks to Alfaparf Group’s know-how and development of commercial relationships with increasingly high-quality and outstanding clients.

Over recent years, Alfaparf Group has been determined to move towards globalization, both in terms of new geographical locations and new brands and/or distribution channels.

The globalization phenomenon has influenced the way we work. Today, all the Group’s branches work in an interconnected way, ensuring consistent standards which are recognized internationally.
