GERMANY: NOVELTIES FROM FLORENA

Article Abstract:

Waldheim-based company Florena Cosmetic GmbH, which was virtually a monopoly enterprise in former East Germany, has quadrupled turnover to DM 94.1mn since the privatisation in a management buy-out in 1992. In 1998 the company raised sales in Germany by almost 25%. Twenty out of Florena's 250 staff work in research and development. The latest result from the R&D is the men's skin care line that is to be launched in summer 1999. In 1998 the company entered a new market segment by introducing the Suncare line with 7 different products. Recently the company launched Wild River for men. Florena is betting on a favourable price/performance ratio of its products. Florena exports more than one-third of its output to 35 countries.
