Alfaparf Milano opens a new production centre in the US
It closed 2025 with a turnover of 492.2 million euros, up 9 per cent on the previous year, and has just opened its eleventh factory in the United States, in Lincoln, Rhode Island: thus Alfaparf Milano – a multinational professional cosmetics company based in the province of Bergamo that develops, manufactures and distributes hair and body care products under brands such as Alfaparf Milano Professional, Yellow Professional, Dibi Milano and Becos, whilst also operating in contract manufacturing and pet beauty – is strengthening its international presence and preparing to establish the group’s new manufacturing hub for North America.
This move forms part of a growth strategy which, in recent years, has seen Alfaparf Milano progressively strengthen its direct presence in strategic markets through industrial and commercial investments aimed at bringing the group ever closer to local professionals and partners. Today, the multinational operates in over 130 countries with a network of eleven production facilities and, in 2026, ranked 84th in the WWD Beauty Inc. Top 100, the global benchmark for the sector.
“International growth does not simply mean establishing a presence in new markets, but building an industrial presence capable of generating value for customers and partners,” emphasises Roberto Franchina, chairman and founder of Alfaparf Milano. “ The investment in the United States is a direct response to this vision: to bring Alfaparf’s manufacturing expertise ever closer to industry professionals, thereby strengthening our competitiveness, our capacity for innovation and the quality of our service in one of the world’s most important markets for the sector. “With this project, we are taking a further step towards a growth model that is ever closer to our key markets, capable of combining Italian manufacturing excellence, proximity to customers and a long-term vision.”
The logistics hubs already in place in North America are now complemented by a direct manufacturing presence, strengthening the group’s ability to serve the local market. The new plant will be dedicated to producing the group’s brands for the North American market, as well as private label and contract manufacturing, covering the entire product development cycle: from formulation to production, from packaging to quality control. Local production will enable the company to reduce development and delivery times, optimise the supply chain, increase production flexibility and respond more quickly to the needs of the North American market, adapting products and formulations more effectively to local demands and ensuring a further level of business continuity.
