What Virospack does

Virospack, S.L.U. is a Barcelona-area (Badalona, Spain) manufacturer specializing in cosmetic dropper packs and tubular glass vials for skincare, hair treatment, nail care, liquid foundation, and colour cosmetics. Founded in 1956 originally as a pharmaceutical rubber-components supplier, the company pivoted into beauty packaging in the mid-1980s and has built a product portfolio spanning standard, push-button, magnetic, roll-on, child-resistant certified, and Eco (100% PP monomaterial) droppers, plus molded and tubular glass bottles, the Duo Mix airless system, the Spatula Cap closure, metal-shell bottles, and PCR-content variants. All production — rubber compounding, glass tubing, plastic injection, laser-cut pipette fabrication, screen/pad printing, hot stamping, metallization, spray painting, and automated assembly — is conducted in-house at the Barcelona facility, with stated annual capacity exceeding 98 million droppers, 130 million pipettes, 20 million bottles, 50 million decorated units, 40 million metallized pieces, and 150 million rubber units.

The company sells direct to global prestige beauty brands through a regional B2B sales force covering Europe, EMEA, the US, Asia, and Italy, supported by a worldwide distributor network; more than 95% of production is exported across five continents with over 1,500 shipments per year. Pricing is quote-based with typical minimum order quantities of 10,000 units (5,000 for certain catalog items) and lead times of 8–12 working weeks, reflecting a project-driven custom manufacturing model rather than stocked-catalog distribution. Customer logos include L'Oréal, Estée Lauder, Lancôme, La Mer, Tom Ford, Sisley, La Prairie, Mary Kay, MAC, Coty, Clinique, Clarins, Caudalie, Bioderma, Yves Rocher, Vichy, Kérastase, shu uemura, Smashbox, and others.

In 2025, Investindustrial acquired a majority stake in Virospack, and the company is commissioning a new facility in 2026 that will expand production capacity by 65%. Virospack holds ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications, EMAS registration, CDP and ISCC PLUS certifications, an EcoVadis Gold Medal (97th percentile), and UN Global Compact signatory status, with a stated target of achieving a minimum 90-point B-Corp certification by 2026.
