GREENVILLE, S.C. - Aug. 2, 2016 - PRLog -- VariBlend, the world leader in the manufacture of custom-blending, dual-dispensing technology, announced the acquisition of state-of-the-art HUTT automatic fill- and final assembly equipment for its 20mm MiniMix®, Robert Brands, the company's President and CEO, announced here today.
As part of VariBlend's recently announced strategic partnership with Cosmax, the global giant in original design manufacturing (ODM) for the cosmetics industry, one of the HUTT systems will be installed at Cosmax's Solon, Ohio headquarters. A second system is installed in Germany, for a combined annual capacity of 20 million units.
The new equipment will further enhance the VariBlend-Cosmax alliance, and benefit customers through streamlined supply chain efficiencies in the lip gloss category, as well as eye, face and skin care segments.
The slim profile and color blending capabilities of the VariBlend 20mm MiniMix® make it an exciting new packaging alternative for products delivered in various strengths.
HUTT has a 50-year heritage for development of innovative, precision automation systems that can handle the most demanding applications, with optimal assembly cycles. The company, founded by Rudi Hutt, is considered a leading global solutions provider, with more than 140 employees dedicated to the highest levels of customer service.
As announced earlier this year, Cosmax's U.S.-based high-speed filling complements VariBlend's European capabilities. Cosmax also provides the bulk and serves as a contract filler. The state-of-the-art Solon, Ohio site is the first in America for the South Korea company. It is an Ohio-based, 330,000-square-foot former L'Oreal factory equipped to produce a wide range of cosmetic products in high volume with an annual capacity of more than 150 million units.
Cosmax Group projects more than $1 billion in sales for 2016. The Seoul-based Cosmax, founded in 1992, develops and produces beauty products for a blue-chip roster of the world's most innovative, respected and successful international power brands. These include skin care, makeup and hair care products, which coincide with VariBlend customer targets.
