For the first time in two years, the classic Cosmoprof fair in Bologna was held in a full-on live format. The break was obviously related to the pandemic. At the turn of April and May, over 2,700 exhibitors from 69 countries had the opportunity to meet their current and potential customers in person. We couldn’t miss it!

Polish cosmetics companies presented their offer in the national pavilion – hall No. 16. During the official opening, Blanka Chmurzyńska-Brown – general director of the Polish Union of the Cosmetics Industry, spoke about the domestic cosmetics market.

The 53rd edition of Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna was held from April the 28th till May the 1st. These dates was postponed twice previously, so after a forced break, the event could take place under favorable circumstances, without the pressure caused by Covid-19 restrictions. The resulting confusion did not prevent us from preparing for the fair with exceptional care. Delia’s stand was impressive, and the employees of our Export and B2B Departments had their hands full of work for these few days – in the beginning of a very fruitful spring season!

How to create a space probe simulator!? It’s an easy task … for students of Lodz Technical School of Automation and Robotics, who have qualified for the finals of European Space Agency international competition.

Who do they owe this success?

First of all, their own work, imagination and excellent technical preparation. As long-term partners of the Technical College, we look at their discoveries and achievements with even greater pride and admiration.

The satellite designed by students has been successfully tested in the area of Błędowska desert. We believe in further success of the smart team from Łódź and we intend to continue supporting those who think outside the box. Without innovation, there would be no progress. Let Polish technical thought become the leading one in Europe and in the world!

How are Diamonds verified? First, Dun & Bradstreet Poland collects data of companies that submitted their 2016-2020 reports to the National Court Register in a timely manner. This is how a list of nearly 15 000 companies is created. These companies must have high current liquidity and cannot be in arrears with their contractors. They also have positive risk rating for cooperation and credibility. Enterprises meeting above conditions additionally had to demonstrate a positive financial result and the value of equity.

Ultimately, the 2022 list included companies with 15 percent and greater increase of value. Entities with a negative value of the revaluation in at least one of the last three years and the ones not maintaining a continuous growth character were removed from the list. Delia Cosmetics positively passed all stages of Dun & Bradstreet Poland verification and finally received one of the most important business awards. We are extremely proud!
