The Alfaparf Group is the world’s leading Italian beauty company in the professional
channel. Our Company was established in 1980, taking the first steps in the north
of Italy, then in the 90s, we broadened our horizons beyond national borders,
becoming the first Italian cosmetics company in the world in the professional
channel. Since our early beginnings, we have taken steps to create an independent
and integrated group, attentive to innovation and market trends: our numerous
brands and the number of international companies and leaders in the beauty
market who rely on our expertise to develop projects and products for the hair and
body are evidence of this. Our business divisions constantly interact with each other,
circulating skills and transforming them into the best responses to the evolution in
the industry; by doing so, we continue to improve the quality of the service offered
by professional operators, leaving a better world for future generations.
