What CCI Productions does

CCI Productions is a privately held French B2B contract manufacturer of perfumes and cosmetics, founded in 1971 by Jacques Joubin and headquartered in Acquigny, Normandy. The company serves prestige and luxury brands across the global fragrance and cosmetics industry, offering end-to-end services including custom formulation, industrial production, premium packaging, and international regulatory compliance management. It operates two production sites, the 11,000m² Acquigny headquarters with 15 packaging lines and the 4,600m² Echemiré facility (acquired in 2004 as EDIPAR) with 7 packaging lines, delivering combined annual capacity of 2.5 million litres of perfume and 400 tonnes of cosmetics across 22 automated lines, supported by approximately 250 employees.

The underlying technology infrastructure includes variable-capacity maceration units, integrated formulation laboratories, GMP-certified production facilities, traditional luxury finishing techniques such as baudruchage and fil d'or, and a full traceability system capable of tracing back to supplier data within 12 hours. The company holds ISO 22716 GMP certification along with regulatory approvals across EU (ANSM), US (FDA 21 CFR Part 20 and MoCRA), and Canadian (Santé Canada) markets, and has received Research Tax Credit accreditation from France's Ministry of Higher Education and Research for its R&D capabilities. Distinctive offerings include rare artisanal finishing techniques passed down through generations and a subsidiary (CCI Règlementation et Développement, created 2009) providing dedicated regulatory and formulation development services.

CCI Productions generates revenue through quote-based B2B contract manufacturing with multi-year engagements rather than subscription or recurring pricing. Revenue streams include core manufacturing services for prestige brands, regulatory and development services through the CCI R&D subsidiary, and consumer product sales through the proprietary Ozalys brand (launched 2017) targeting cancer patients and survivors, which has received 8 industry awards between 2018 and 2020. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales driven by direct quote requests, commercial meetings, partnership inquiries via the company website, and trade show participation (notably in-Cosmetics). In 2008 the company reported €27 million in revenue with 12% YoY growth and ~30% international export share; current revenue is not publicly disclosed. The company underwent a leadership transition in 2008 when Isabelle Guyomarch took over, divested logistics operations to focus on manufacturing, and has since pursued strategic expansion via the regulatory subsidiary, the Ozalys consumer brand, and expanded multi-zone regulatory certifications.
