Cosmogen, a leading provider of primary packaging for cosmetics brands, announces the acquisition of Asquan, a specialist in premium multi-category packaging. This first external growth initiative for Cosmogen, spearheaded by Weinberg Capital Partners, marks the launch of the Cosmogen & Asquan Group, a new global leader in premium packaging.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A natural partnership between two organizations with complementary expertise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since the WCP#4 LBO fund joined the company in December 2024, alongside the WCP
Co-Invest fund and BNP Paribas D\u00e9veloppement, Cosmogen has set a clear goal: to become a leading player in premium packaging. The strong synergy between the two companies naturally led to this acquisition, which is fully aligned with this strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the one hand, Cosmogen has established itself as a key player in the industry, thanks to its patented designs for technical applicators, brushes, and accessories for cosmetic brands.
The company operates primarily in Europe, working with major international brands such as L\u2019Or\u00e9al, Dior, Caudalie, and Clarins. Its DNA is also rooted in strong ESG commitments: a mission-driven company since 2022, Cosmogen was awarded the EcoVadis Gold medal in
late 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, Asquan has built a leading reputation thanks to its wide range of customized products across multiple categories. Asquan maintains a strong presence in the United States through its collaboration with highly dynamic indie brands. The company is also recognized for the quality of its organization and processes. It was also awarded the EcoVadis Gold Medal in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The synergies between the two companies are evident at every level: teams, expertise, product catalog, geographic locations, customer portfolios, and fabless organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosmogen & Asquan Group has nearly 80 employees and generates consolidated revenue of \u20ac50 million, of which approximately \u20ac20 million is contributed by Asquan. The group is led by Priscille Allais, CEO, alongside Henri Tinchant, founder of Asquan, who becomes COO.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

“In a consolidating beauty market, it was essential for us to evolve. The acquisition of Asquan was a natural choice given the strong synergy between our two companies. This transaction now enables us to become a leading global group for global brands, while reinforcing our environmental and social commitments. I look forward to the upcoming collaboration with Henri Tinchant, who brings his unique experience to the sector.”<\/div>\n\n

“Closing this major transaction 18 months after our initial investment is a significant achievement. It enables the group to scale up and offers significant potential for synergies. This build-up also demonstrates our ability to support ambitious international build-up strategies, including for SMEs with no history of acquisitions.”<\/div>\n\n
