RPC to supply packs for new Oxy shaving range

Simeon Goldstein, packagingnews.co.uk, 09 October 2008

 

Oxy, the US acne treatment brand, has adopted RPC's Magic Star and CD Smart packs to launch its range of shaving products.

 

Manufacturer Mentholatum selected Magic Star for the metered-dose airless pumps that provide a hygienic application and are easy to use.

 

The CD Smart pack has been chosen for Oxy spot treatment acne fighting gel formula, which is produced in a 15ml size.

 

RPC Bramlage-Wiko USA provide the dispensers in colouring to match the product's branding ¨C a black container, red dispenser head and clear overcap.

 

Meanwhile, RPC Group has confirmed that the operations from the Beaut¨¦ plant in Mozzate, Italy, will be transferred to the firm's Bramlage-Wiko facility in France.

 

The Mozzate plant, which employs 81 staff, is due to be closed by next March.

 

The Beaut¨¦ plant's closure, which was announced last week, forms part of RPC's strategic review that was launched in June. The next update is expected when the firm publishes its half-year report in November.

 

The enhanced Bramlage-Wiko operation is expected to halve sales of €250m (£198m).
