"Lots of discussions, personal dialogue and new ideas" - the exhibitors at this year's CosmeticBusiness were extremely satisfied. CosmeticBusiness 2025 statements from exhibitors such as Ballerstaedt and CosmeticService can be found in the overview.

Networking, innovation and new impulses - all in one place

Harald Ballerstaedt, Partner and CEO, Ballerstaedt & Co. OHG

"CosmeticBusiness is an important platform for Ballerstaedt to present our sealing closures to the cosmetics market in a targeted manner. We particularly appreciate the opportunity to maintain existing contacts and at the same time gain new impetus through discussions with interested parties. The trade fair offers exactly the right mix of trade visitors, relevant topics and personal dialogue."

Start-up meets many interested trade visitors

Friedrich Orwitz, Managing Director, Start-up 4 Brains in Tec

"We were extremely positively surprised by the response to our stand. It is particularly pleasing that so many customers from German-speaking countries are here. We still know many of them from our previous employers. The fact that they see us here again opens up completely new opportunities. That is absolutely positive for us. Our aim is to raise our profile and generate attention for our start-up. That works perfectly. We are also very happy with our stand position, which gives us optimum visibility at the trade fair."

Best and most targeted supplier event for cosmetics brands

Klaus Grabowsky, Managing Director, CosmeticService GmbH

"This is the third time we have exhibited at CosmeticBusiness and for good reason. This is where we meet our customers. This is the best and most targeted supplier event for customers who have a brand. Visitors can find everything they need to build and develop their brand here. This gives us the advantage that many customers visit this trade fair and find a complete range of products here - from raw materials and contract manufacturers to packaging materials and other service providers along the entire value chain. For us as CosmeticService, a company with decades of experience since 1976, this trade fair is a central anchor point. We not only celebrate successes with new customers here. We also meet long-standing partners, some of whom we have been doing business with for over 50 years. Especially in times when many contacts are made digitally, we particularly value personal dialogue. We have already been able to welcome numerous existing customers in person. It is equally pleasing that many new interested parties came to our stand. This is a clear success for us and gives us access to a new customer environment."

Successful anniversary party

Silja Marqurad, Study Manager, Dermatest GmbH

"CosmeticBusiness is like a class reunion where the industry meets. It's an incredibly nice trade fair because we meet many of our customers and partners here in person. The attendance at our stand is very good. Special praise goes to the anniversary party. The atmosphere was great: there was great music, a great band, good food and good drinks. It was an all-round successful evening."

CosmeticBusiness is unique

Sebastian Eschke, Sales Director Germany, Edelmann Group

"CosmeticBusiness is unique for us because it is compact and personal. It offers the ideal setting for exchanging ideas and meeting qualified contacts. We had very high-quality discussions at our stand, which we hope will lead to concrete projects and future orders. Thanks to the contract manufacturers, the brand owners are also on site. This makes CosmeticBusiness in Munich very interesting for us, as we can reach both target groups. We are there for customers and business partners to discuss new projects or new, innovative, completely individualised approaches and packaging solutions. The response from our customers shows us how important CosmeticBusiness is."

CosmeticBusiness is efficient and targeted

Gerrit Uhe, Key Account Manager, Eurofins Consumer Product Testing GmbH

"We meet many of our existing customers at CosmeticBusiness, but of course we are also always on the lookout for new customers and maintain dialogue with other market players. Personal dialogue is the focus for us at CosmeticBusiness. We particularly appreciate the fact that the trade fair is concentrated over two days and is not too long. The compact format enables high-quality discussions with exactly the right contacts. We were able to further intensify our existing customer relationships. Compared to other events, we find CosmeticBusiness to be much more focussed. At CosmeticBusiness, the discussions often lead to concrete approaches. This makes the trade fair particularly valuable for us."

CosmeticBusiness is a valuable networking platform

Holger Weidl, Procurist, FRAPAK PACKAGING

"We see the trade fair as a valuable networking platform. Within a short space of time, we can meet many of our customers who we haven't seen in person for a while. I had time for good discussions with customers and was also able to engage in intensive dialogue with market players. Here you meet people with a clear vision and expertise. We are represented at the stand with seven colleagues. This gives us the opportunity to engage in dialogue with every customer."

Trade fair presence generates visibility for research work

Ines H. Lieske, Business Unit Manager Processing Machines, Fraunhofer IVV

"This is our second time at CosmeticBusiness and we are very satisfied so far. We have already held many discussions with very different target groups. It is particularly important for us to gain visibility and attract attention for our research work. We are doing this very well. Many visitors first become aware of us through our stand and are interested in what we have to offer the cosmetics industry. This results in interesting and varied enquiries. I find CosmeticBusiness to be down-to-earth. Three exhibition halls are manageable, which I find very pleasant. There is also a very specific target audience here."

Labtree brings movement to the cosmetics industry

Jorit Tessmann, CEO, Start-up Labtree

"With Labtree, we enable cosmetics brands to bring their products to market 50 per cent faster thanks to automated development. We presented our business model for the first time at CosmeticBusiness and met with a lot of interest and consistently positive feedback. What makes this trade fair special is the direct, high-quality professional dialogue with customers and suppliers. For us, it is a strong platform for creating visibility and specifically sounding out the market."

CosmeticBusiness is the home of the cosmetics industry

Florian Wenig, Director Marketing & Public Relations, LINHARDT Group GmbH

"For us, CosmeticBusiness is far more than just a trade fair - it is the home of the cosmetics industry. Suppliers and long-standing partners meet in Munich to present their products along the entire value chain. There is no substitute for personal dialogue and this trade fair offers the ideal platform for this. We are continuously developing and take advantage of CosmeticBusiness to present our innovations, whether in the plastics or aluminium sector. We are particularly proud of our sustainable solutions, with which we are making an important contribution as a pioneer in the industry. The trade fair was a complete success for us: our stand was well attended, we held valuable discussions and initiated numerous exciting ideas - with great potential for future projects."

CosmeticBusiness is meeting point for one of the most important target groups

Paula Gomez de Tejada Espinosa, Global Communications and Public Relations Manager, Natrue

"This fair is quite important for us although we are based in Brussels. The German market is one of our main markets, and here we can find manufacturers, label users, raw materials and also quite interesting panel talks. The public audience was quite well, it was impressing for us. We will definitely come again next year. CosmeticBusiness is a place where we can meet with one of our target groups."

CosmeticBusiness is an established player in the market

Dr Thomas Gibtner, Managing Director, NeoCos Service GmbH

"For us, CosmeticBusiness is the annual hotspot that we always look forward to. We meet our regular customers here, make valuable new contacts and present our new products in a targeted manner. This year, for example, it was our sun concept that met with very positive feedback. 20 years of CosmeticBusiness speaks in favour of the trade fair. It is an established player in the market and we wouldn't want to be without it. The trade fair is also becoming increasingly important internationally. We wish the Leipziger Messe team continued success and steady growth."

New exhibitor meets entire cosmetics value chain

Miriam Hempel, Owner, Nele Kosmetik

"CosmeticBusiness has been a perpetual trade fair concept for us for 20 years, where we always have to go. We meet our suppliers, our customers and actually everyone we need to get a product into the shop here. There are packagers and contract manufacturers from the skincare and decorative cosmetics sectors on site. Safety assessors are also there, so the entire value chain is covered. Nevertheless, CosmeticBusiness is not a huge trade fair. If you are well organised, you can do everything in one day, in two days you have everything mapped out and know which manufacturers you want to work with for a cosmetic product. That's why we've been at CosmeticBusiness right from the start. This year we are exhibiting for the first time. It was the logical step for us, as I myself come from the marketing and trade fair sector. In the last few years, I've almost only sat in the café and worked through appointments because I didn't get round the trade fair. Even today, I didn't get away from the stand, except for my presentation, because we had so many customer appointments and there were also spontaneous walk-in customers. That's what the trade fair is all about, having everyone in one place. In two days, you can deal with an incredible number of appointments that you wouldn't be able to deal with in normal business."
