What CNC International does

CNC International B.V. is a Netherlands-based private label manufacturer of UV-cured nail gels and gel polishes, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Nederweert with production operating under ISO 22716 and GMP guidelines. The company develops and produces a full portfolio including gel polishes, UV builder gels, combo gels, acrylics, and complementary products, with proprietary formulations positioned as HEMA-free, DiHEMA-free, TPO-free, and 15-free. CNC reformulated ahead of the September 2025 EU ban on TPO and is prepared for the August 2026 UK prohibition, using TPO-L as a substitute photoinitiator; every order is delivered with MSDS, INCI lists, and CPNP registration support.

The business operates a sales-led, low-barrier private label model: minimum orders start at 1 liter bulk or 25 finished pieces, there are no yearly minimums, and production lead times run 15-20 business days. Customers — individual beauty entrepreneurs, nail technicians, salons, and existing nail brands — source through a multilingual website (9 languages) and a customer portal, with custom formulation available via an in-house R&D team, chemist, and colorist. CNC International B.V. operates as a member firm of Darmand Group alongside sister companies Nail Creation BV, Nouveau Contour BV, and Dermatude BV under common ownership headquartered in Weert, Netherlands.
