What Texen S.A.S. does

Texen S.A.S. is a French B2B manufacturer of plastic packaging and decoration solutions serving the luxury beauty and spirits industries. Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Brion, France, Texen is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the diversified industrial group PSB Industries and operates through wholly-owned production entities Texen CMSI, Texen Mayet and Texen CEICA, with international manufacturing footprint in Poland and Mexico. Its offering spans three tiers — standard, semi-specific and fully specific packaging — covering caps, bottles, palettes, applicators, perfume cases and spirits coffrets for end markets in make-up, skincare, fragrance and spirits. Blue-chip customers include Lancôme, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Clarins, Biotherm, Oriflame, Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton.

Texen's competitive position is built on multi-process engineering: in-house capabilities cover HES (high solid content, low-solvent) varnish, metallization, hot stamping, pad printing, screen printing, in-mold texturing, lacquering, and thick-walled injection molding up to 10mm using advanced materials such as Eastman Cristall One Renew IM812 with up to 100% certified recycled content. Approximately 93% of the product portfolio incorporates an eco-design option, supported by EcoVadis Platinum status (three consecutive years) and SBTi-validated 2030 (52.9% Scope 1&2 reduction) and 2050 net-zero targets.

Texen generates revenue through custom contract manufacturing for enterprise beauty and spirits brands, selling direct via field sales teams (no retail or e-commerce channels), supplemented by trade-show presence (MakeUp in Paris), an online catalogue (catalogue.texen.com), and an 'Explore Texen' digital platform. Pricing is bespoke quote-based. The company is privately held under PSB Industries and does not disclose revenue; its strategic direction is being shaped by ongoing ESG positioning ahead of EU PPWR regulations, recent M&A activity in the parent group (ERZI flocked applicators), and a co-development partnership with Eastman for sustainable premium packaging.

Direct peers

• Quadpack Industries: European beauty packaging manufacturer serving prestige and masstige brands with primary packaging, applicators, and decoration services. Similar size profile and customer overlap, also focused on sustainable packaging solutions.

• Pochet du Courval: French luxury packaging specialist (glass bottles, jars, caps, metalization) serving Chanel, Dior, Guerlain and other prestige fragrance/cosmetics houses. Direct competitor for premium fragrance and skincare packaging decoration work.
• Verescence: World's leading producer of glass packaging for perfumery and cosmetics, supplying many of the same luxury brands as Texen. While glass-focused, it competes with Texen's thick-walled injection molding which mimics glass aesthetics in plastic.
• HCP Packaging: China-rooted but globally operating cosmetics packaging manufacturer specializing in plastic stock and custom compacts, lipsticks, and jars for prestige beauty brands. Direct competitor in color cosmetics plastic packaging.
• Albea Group: Global beauty packaging manufacturer with direct overlap in plastic mascara caps, lipstick components, fragrance closures and skincare packaging for the same luxury customer base (L'Oréal, Chanel, LVMH). Closest direct competitor in multi-process decoration and plastic packaging.
