The Cosmetics Industry Buyers & Suppliers (CIBS) will host a luncheon on June 17 at noon at Maloney & Porcelli in New York City. Guest speaker Robert Brands, president and CEO of VariBlend, will speak on "The Ten imperatives to Create & Sustain ‘New’ in Business" at the event. He is also and author and founder of www.innovationcoach.com.
Between 2006 and 2009, Brands served managing director of the personal care division of Rexam Plastics representing about $1B in sales, with 25 sites worldwide, about 11,000 employees in three Business Units: Dispensing Systems, Make Up and HPC (custom molding). Rexam acquired Airspray NV, a worldwide leader in non-aerosol foam dispensers, in May of 2006.
Under Brands’ stewardship as president of Airspray US since 1998 and since 2004 as CEO of the Dutch public company, Airspray created the international market for instant foam dispensing. Here, Brands delivered consistent double-digit profitable growth.
CIBS is a nonprofit, professional organization, which encompasses the entire spectrum of the fragrance and beauty packaging industry. Based in New York City, CIBS members include professionals from the skincare, cosmetics, hair, fragrance, componentry, ingredients and manufacturing industries. Teaming up with buyers and suppliers along with publishers & retailers provides a multi-level approach to multi-generational growth for appreciating our past, experiencing our present and creating our future.
Officially created in 1948, a small group of cosmetic industry purchasing and salespeople, who were looking for “friendly surroundings” and a place to meet, held their first informal meeting on Dec. 4, 1947. From that humble beginning, CIBS was established. Today, the CIBS membership community is proud to provide opportunities for thousands to meet, host and feel a part of our evolving marketplace.
