A principle always upheld over the years. We believe in nature, sustainability, eco-sustainable formulations and quality materials.
Ahead of our times, we have always respected the environment that witnessed our birth as men and women and as a business.

An essential reference point in production and structural terms.
Our facilities were built following the GMP, thanks to which we obtained the ISO 22176 GMP certification. We also obtained the PEFC certification.
We have been producing eco-sustainable formulations for some time now. This is something we are very proud of and thanks to which we obtained the ECOCERT, NATRUE, and COSMOS certifications for many of our products.
Today, in addition to the formulas, we can ensure a good level of sustainability also in relation to paints, pencil caps, and other materials.
