What PSB Industries does

PSB Industries SA is a France-based, Euronext Paris-listed industrial group (epa:PSB) founded in 1904 that manufactures and sells packaging and specialty chemical products in France and internationally. The group operates primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiary Texen, which serves as the core operating brand in beauty and spirits packaging. Headquartered in Metz-Tessy, France, with a workforce of 1,001–5,000 employees, PSB Industries has historically pursued growth through acquisitions, including C+N Packaging (2014), Plastibell Group (2015), and Topline Products Co (2015), supported by a 2015 funding round from Tikehau Capital.

Texen delivers packaging solutions across four primary verticals: makeup (eye, lip, and complexion), skincare (high-performance application and delivery systems), fragrance (premium perfume bottles and casings), and spirits (gift sets, caps/coiffes, and decorative wrappings/habillages). The company offers three tiers of customization — standard, semi-specific, and fully custom (specific) — and differentiates on multi-process engineering capabilities (ingénierie multi-procédés), eco-design, materials innovation, and automated manufacturing. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise B2B field sales to global cosmetics, beauty, and spirits brand owners, with quote-based pricing, supplemented by digital channels including the Texen online catalog (catalogue.texen.com) and the Explore Texen platform. The company positions itself as a global leader in metal cosmetic packaging, participating in a market valued at approximately $6.0 billion in 2024 with projected 4.43% CAGR through 2033, driven by demand for sustainable and premium packaging across both mass and luxury beauty segments. Current CEO is Rémi Weidenmann.
