Pinard Emballages S.A.S.

What Pinard Emballages S.A.S. does

Pinard Emballages S.A.S. (commercial brand: Pinard Beauty Pack) is a French family-owned manufacturer of plastic bottles, jars and airless packaging for the cosmetics, fragrance, dermatology and pharmaceutical end-markets. Founded by the Pinard family in Oyonnax in 1959 and formalized as a company in 1970, the group has operated under third-generation leadership since 2010 and is partly backed by IK Investment Fund, which entered the capital in July 2017. Production is centered on three sites in the Ain department (Martignat/Evron headquarters of 14,000 m² and Bellignat production, decoration and logistics facilities totaling 12,800 m²), with a capacity of approximately 207 million bottles per year across 18 ISBM machines and extrusion/co-extrusion blow-molding lines, plus in-house in-mold decoration, screen printing and hot stamping.

The commercial offer combines a catalog of standard PET and RPET bottles and jars with bespoke custom developments, and an airless packaging franchise built around the patented AirlessPET "bottle-in-bottle" technology (developed with Aptar's GSA Advance pump) and the airless pouch dispensers acquired with LABLABO in 2019. The group's go-to-market is B2B and direct-sales-led, serving roughly 297 brand-owner clients including luxury houses (Dior, Hermès, Guerlain, Prada, Burberry, Tiffany & Co., Chloé), prestige beauty (Sisley, Clarins, Estée Lauder, Nuxe, Yves Rocher, L'Occitane, Clinique, Avène, Bioderma) and a growing dermatology/pharmaceutical cohort. Revenue model is per-unit product sales on both one-time custom tooling and repeat standard catalog orders; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The company's strategic positioning rests on three pillars: a proprietary airless technology stack, an integrated decoration/manufacturing footprint, and an industry-leading sustainability profile (EcoVadis Platinum at 87/100, ISCC Plus certification, SBTi-validated carbon targets of -76% Scope 1&2 and -21.72% Scope 3, and adoption of RPET, Green HDPE and circular PP/PE/PET/PETG materials). Most recently disclosed revenue is approximately €50M, placing the group among the larger independent European beauty-packaging specialists.
