On Dec. 5 in Paris, the Institut National de la Propriété Industrielle - French National Industrial Property Institute (NPI) organized a large ceremony to celebrate its 60t birthday and 20 years of trophies for innovation. This trophy rewards SMEs, who place innovation at the very heart of their growth strategy and who transform their R&D works into industrial property.
For the 20th birthday of these trophies for innovation, the Institute has decided to select the most talented winners from among the 46 that have received awards over the last 20 years for their innovative strategy—and Silab, a national and international supplier of natural active ingredients to the cosmetics industry, had the honor of being elected the winner of all winners in the health/cosmetics category.
It is with immense pleasure and great pride that Brigitte Closs-Gonthier, managing director for R&D, representing Jean Paufique, chairman and founder of SILAB, was awarded the trophy of innovation 2011 by Thierry Morin, chairman of the INPI Administration.
This trophy is a real reward, crowning all of the SILAB Company’s activities and its innovation capacity, to which the company dedicates 20% of its turnover and 1/3 of its staff.
