Dalmec presents a new industrial manipulator type Posivel PV for picking up, moving and dumping buckets

Dalmec introduces a new Posivel PV type industrial manipulator equipped with an adapted gripping tool, specifically designed for handling buckets to be emptied!

Targeting mainly the chemical, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, varnish and paint industries, this new Dalmec manipulator, a true Posivel PV type double cable load balancer, is equipped with a custom-designed gripping device for handling and dumping buckets.

This double cable manipulator is equipped with a special hooked gripping tool for picking up and handling buckets of different shape and weight.

A simple and ergonomic solution, this manipulator eliminates all physical efforts and therefore all risks of RSI with totally improved working conditions, thus bringing a remarkable gain in safety and productivity for the operators, for handling ... without any effort!

The type of load balancing is automatic and allows the bucket to be emptied with a totally controlled and balanced handling. Thus, the Posivel PV Manipulator presented here in a fixed overhead version eliminates all the ground clutter.

All movements in space are free and are achieved with minimal effort by the direct action of the operator on the gripping tool or on the load itself.

Fleur Phelipeau, founder of the nutricosmetics brand D-LAB, opens a 2700m2 green factory in the heart of Allier

A pioneer in France in the beauty food supplement sector, with over 10 years' experience in the market, D-LAB now lovingly manufactures and packages its products in its own green factory in St-Bonnet-de-Rochefort in the Allier region. It's a new challenge and an achievement for Fleur Phelipeau, a 38-year-old entrepreneur with the same obsession: to offer the best for the body and the planet!

A benchmark in the dietary supplements sector since 2009

Since launching D-LAB in 2009, Fleur Phelipeau has come a long way: she now heads up 5 nutricosmetics brands (D-LAB, Birdie, Claude Aphrodisiacs, Phyto Factory and Révèle) generating annual sales of 7 million euros, and now runs her own factory!

The secret behind the success of these brands? Natural, highly effective formulas, synthesizing the very best in plant extracts. In addition to its 100% clean formulas made in France, D-LAB has been paying particular attention to its environmental impact for many years, choosing recyclable packaging and certified printers.

D-LAB Industry: a new-generation green factory

Fleur Phelipeau invested 4.2 million euros to create the factory of her dreams, offering green, innovative and positive-impact 100 % industrial production: a first in the French dietary supplements sector. She chose the Vichy region as a return to her roots (her parents ran the Thermes) and the opportunity to create a virtuous ecosystem in the region: the plant is located within the Naturopôle Nutrition Santé in Saint-Bonnet de Rochefort.

Freshly inaugurated and already in production, the plant employs some thirty people, almost all of them urbanites who chose to join the adventure by setting up in the Allier region. D-LAB Industry concentrates the entire food supplement creation and production chain in a single location: from R&D and regulatory services to manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, marketing and shipping.

Respectful construction

Designed down to the smallest detail to be as environmentally friendly as possible, nothing was left to chance in either its construction or its operation:Virtuous work: extraction was carried out directly on the Naturopôle, and transport of materials was kept to a minimum (less than 150 km).

Zero waste: raw materials stored in reusable drums, composting of organic waste, no disposable equipment, green laundry inside the plant, water fountains, animals on site (chickens, sheep, etc.).

Water savings: rainwater harvesting from the roof (in tanks) and installation of "noues" (ditches to retain and convey rainwater), mechanical cleaning, communal laundry...

Creation of green energy: solar panels on the roof, choice of high-performance insulating materials to reduce thermal inertia, low-consumption light fittings, lighting system that follows circadian cycles...

Short-distance sourcing: most of the plants used to formulate our supplements are grown locally (within a radius of less than 15 km).

ADF, PCD and PLD the Paris Packaging Week 2022 shows: a unifying edition and a plebiscite from professionals!

A full house for both visitors and exhibitors

Some 6,912 visitors and a total of 10,509 attendees (including exhibitors' staff) and 637 exhibitors passed through the "cyan, magenta and yellow" doors of Paris Packaging Week. The event organized by EasyFairs brought together professionals from the aerosol (ADF), beauty and fragrance (PCD), premium beverage (PLD) and other luxury sectors. The magic of the synergy between these three worlds worked once again this year, with a loyal visitor base.

We are very happy with the numbers of visitors and exhibitors. The health context suggested a drop in the number of participants, but this was not the case! Paris Packaging Week is back to the excellent figures of its 2020 edition, with an additional human dimension: the pleasure of finally getting together. This is what struck me as I toured the show. The atmosphere was one of smiles, of communicative energy, of the joy of being face to face again. It was the reunion our industry needed. " says Josh Brooks, event director of Paris Packaging Week.

An event that met the expectations of its visitors and exhibitors

Paris Packaging Week is proud to have gathered for its exhibitors a very qualified visitor, composed of purchasing, packaging, design or marketing managers of brands, whether from the luxury, masstige or indie brands. We can thus mention some of the best companies in the industry: L'Oréal, Martell Mumm Perrier Jouët, Chanel, Hermès, LVMH, Nuxe, Coty, Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Rémy Cointreau, 900.care, L'Occitane, Sephora, Pierre Fabre, Beiersdorf, Cartier, Marie Brizard Wine & Spirits, Pernod Ricard, Diageo, Campari, and many others

Highlights of Paris Packaging Week 2022

The 2022 edition of Paris Packaging Week was unique in many ways. It was unique because it was the first edition under the name "Paris Packaging Week" and with a transformed graphic identity. It was also special because it was held on a date that is unusual in the history of the show: the end of June, instead of the end of January. And a special edition with its share of novelties and events within the event.

The Innovation Awards are finally taking place in person!

After the results were unveiled last April, the ADF, PCD and PLD Awards ceremonies were held in the presence of all participants. Three highlights and an Innovation Awards gallery highlighted the most relevant packaging of recent months.

The Innovation Awards highlighted 5 key market trends:

  • The monomaterial,
  • Reduction or relief,
  • Recharging,
  • Personalization,
  • The customer experience.

Each ceremony was marked by a keynote speech from a leading figure in his or her sector: the PCD Innovation Awards by Franck Marilly, President and CEO of Shiseido EMEA, the ADF Innovation Awards by Alain d'Haese, General Secretary of the FEA (European Aerosol Federation), and the PLD Innovation Awards by Sandrine Sommer, Chief Sustainability Officer of Moët Hennessy.

The student challenges and the ESIReims premiere

Students from ESEPAC and ESP competed around the theme "How to reinvent unique, luxurious and sustainable consumer experiences for the luxury fragrance market?" Five projects were chosen as winners, and their creators were invited to present them on the PCD Talks stage.

For the first time in 2022, ESIReims proposed a double challenge to its students and offered them the opportunity to show their know-how to professionals of the sector, both industrial and brand. The challenge launched by Huda Beauty consisted in either totally reinventing a palette of 18 shades by making it refillable and recyclable, or transforming the secondary packaging of the Kayali brand's flagship perfume by rethinking it in terms of eco-design and industrialization.

These key topics that were at the heart of all conversations

Several topics stood out, whether in the aisles, in the conversations or in the conferences. Eco-responsibility has undoubtedly become the number one issue raised by brands and promoted by exhibitors. The 2022 edition has highlighted a tangible rise in refill solutions, monomaterial and/or lightweight packaging, attention to CSR, and the desire to integrate the circular economy, all in an approach that is always creative and modern. Today's packaging is in the midst of a green revolution, and Paris Packaging Week will have made its contribution to this essential transformation.

See you at Paris Packaging Week 2023

The next edition of Paris Packaging Week will be held on January 25 and 26, 2023, still at Porte de Versailles. It has already been announced with two major novelties: the integration of the Packaging Première show and the partnership with the FEA (European Aerosol Federation).

Eviosys launches EvioLink, bringing metal packaging into the digital age

On the occasion of ADF - Paris Packaging Week - which took place from June 29 to 30, Eviosys, leader in metal packaging, announces the launch of its latest innovation, EvioLink. This unique QR code printed directly on each product meets consumers' expectations (personalization and renewed consumer experience) while providing manufacturers with a solution to their major challenges: sustainable development, traceability and anti-counterfeiting.

EvioLink. a new personalized and infinitely customizable service

Constantly aware of the latest consumer trends, Eviosys takes a dynamic approach to innovation that reconciles the needs of its customers and those of end consumers, while respecting the environment. The launch of EvioLink for its promotional packaging and aerosol activities offers countless possibilities.

For manufacturers, EvioLink brings :

- Infinite personalization: brands will be able to upload specific content on each QR code to create a unique experience based on the person's profile or the place where they consume the product. Eviosys will also be able to offer solutions directly to customers with its partner Kurz, a world leader in marking and finishing technologies on various media.

- An anti-counterfeiting solution: brands, having each code, will be able to confirm if duplicates are scanned or if an incorrect code is scanned. According to the latest data published by the EUIPO, Europol and the OECD, counterfeiting costs Europe more than 15 billion euros per year.

- Enhanced traceability in case of product recall. EvioLink allows to prevent risks linked to product non-conformity and to know all the steps of the production and marketing process. Brands will be able to quickly stop the distribution of a recalled product and avoid many of the problems that could result from it.

- A solution for sustainable development. Each product can be scanned at different stages of the supply chain, allowing brands to transparently communicate data on the carbon footprint of transportation, location and filling date.

For end consumers:

- A renewed consumer experience can be offered. For online sales, the consumer will be able to download and integrate his own content in the QR code: digital card, video...

- Increased inclusiveness: the QR code allows all consumers to access product information. With over 30 million visually impaired people in Europe, EvioLink could provide essential information to these people.

New perspectives for the group

After receiving the codes from the customer, Eviosys prints them directly on the packaging. For the moment, this printing is only done in Eviosys' factory in Châtillon-sur-Seine, France. However, this new solution could be deployed in the group's various factories in Europe. Eviolink thus opens new growth and development perspectives for the group.

Isabelle Le Graët - Marketing, Communication and Sustainable Development Manager said: " We are constantly evolving our packaging concepts to make Hs modern, convenient and unique. EvioLink allows consumers to personalize the shopping experience and build trust with brands, we offer unique QR codes embedded in the packaging design. Printing a unique QR code is a technical feat and a major challenge. EvioLink is a testimony of our constant will to bring innovative solutions for our industrial customers and end consumers, while respecting the environment and opening new opportunities for the group.."
