Fiabila

What Fiabila does

Fiabila is a French-headquartered contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) specializing exclusively in nail polish and nail care products. Founded in 1977 and operating as FIABILA SAS from Maintenon, France, the company runs 11 factories across 6 countries, making it the only nail polish manufacturer globally at this scale. It serves beauty brands from prestige to mass market across retail, e-commerce, professional, direct sales, and niche channels, with all sites approved by leading international cosmetic groups.

The company's product portfolio is organized around several proprietary technology platforms: Sun Prodigy and Salon Prodigy (reactive UV/LED-curable systems delivering up to 12 days of wear), GREEN BY NATURE® (up to 100% natural-origin formulas compliant with ISO 16128), patented water-based emulsions (up to 55% water content, non-flammable, non-HAZMAT), peel-off formulas, and avant-garde pure formulations with anti-nitrosamines technology. It holds 16 active patents, has created over 200,000 colors, and maintains a 700-woman consumer panel for validated testing alongside an R&D team of 40+ in France.

Fiabila operates a pure B2B contract manufacturing model, generating revenue through bespoke formulation development, bulk production, filling, and turnkey services from project initiation to finished product delivery. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated directly with customers based on formulation complexity, volume, and service scope. The company does not sell directly to consumers; its products reach end users through the brand portfolios of its customers. A network of local agents and sales offices supports international distribution, and a January 2026 co-development partnership with French men's grooming brand Moi Aussi signals expansion into adjacent customer segments.
