27 million investment for sustainable growth from Paglieri

In fact, Paglieri has its operational headquarters in Alessandria, while 70% of production takes place in the Spinetta Marengo (AL) plant, which covers a total area of 76,000 m². Inside the plant there are six production lines for cosmetics, two lines for talcum powder and one line for softeners.In 2023, Paglieri achieved a net turnover of 203.1 million euro, serving over 50 countries worldwide with its 7 brands: Felce Azzurra, Felce Azzurra Bio, Cléo, Labrosan, SapoNello, Mon Amour and Aria di Casa. The company also produced 112 million pieces thanks to 9 production lines, and Paglieri, together with its Felce Azzurra and Schiapparelli brands, were recognised in 2023 by the Italian Patent and Trademark Office as historical trademarks of national interest.

The wellbeing and professional growth of the 170 people who work in Paglieri's offices and production site are a priority for the company, which is committed to offering a comprehensive benefits programme through welfare initiatives, including the extension of services to support work-life balance and the introduction of programmes to provide psychological, legal and tax support for employees. The company has also invested significantly in the growth of the professional skills of its talents, with a focus on issues related to sustainability and technological innovation through the implementation of new training and professional development programmes, with over 1,000 hours of training provided in 2023. Despite its international dimension, Paglieri is first and foremost a company rooted in Alessandria, with the objective of creating value and work for the territory. Last year, on the occasion of Felce Azzurra's centenary, the company strengthened its ties with the Piedmontese city through initiatives such as the 'suspended exhibition' - featuring the works of Stefano Riboli - and the Christmas tree put up in Piazza della Libertà. In addition, the company supported 'La forza e il sorriso Onlus' - an association that supports women facing cancer - and participated in university meetings to promote the development of young talents and their inclusion in an inclusive environment.

The environmental analysis conducted by Paglieri has identified priority areas and actions to improve the company's sustainability performance. This process has led to the definition of strategic investments for the future, aimed at optimising energy consumption and introducing innovative solutions in production, in harmony with the Future Vision. To this end, a new photovoltaic system was installed at the Alexandria plant in 2023, with a capacity of 650 kWp, capable of generating enough renewable energy to cover 4% of the company's energy needs. This project has made it possible to reduce CO2 emissions by 19% compared to 2022.The scent of quality and innovationIn 2023, demonstrating its commitment to the synergetic pursuit of innovation and tradition in research and development, the company launched new product lines that combine high quality raw materials with eco-sustainable formulas, while maintaining its focus on consumer safety and health.

Paglieri hosts an in-house Perfumery Laboratory, and it was in this Laboratory that the Felce Azzura - Fiori di Luna (Blue Fern - Moon Flower) line was patented, developed in collaboration with the specialists of the Accademia Italiana di Medicina del Sonno (Italian Academy of Sleep Medicine) to raise awareness of the importance of sleep and the impact that rest has on health and well-being. The Fiori di Luna fragrance, created following 7 years of research, over 400 sleep quality tests and 3000 hours of sleep analysed, makes use of the patented DreamScentz™ olfactory technology that uses ingredients capable of acting on the areas of the brain that control sleep, is designed to promote relaxation and help you sleep better.
