The company's appreciation for their team members
and focus on personal and professional development
is what sets Cosmotec apart from the pack. This
company's achievements go far beyond results and
credibility.
"Success, for me, is the respect you get from your
work, your achievements and the legacy you leave
to employees and to the evolution of the market in
which you operate," says Marly.
From the beginning, the management style at Cosmotec has cultivated a pride rooted in the employees' feeling of "belonging" to the company, one that
lasts even when employees move on. Many people
start their careers at Cosmotec and are trained by
their managers from all angles, with emphasis on
work posture and technical knowledge.
"We have always been considered a good 'school',"
explains founder and CEO Luciano Fagliari.
"Throughout these 30 years, we have trained many
qualified and respected professionals in the market."

"When Sumitomo invested in Cosmotec's operations in 2013," Okuyama said, "we were targeting
to deliver new technology and trends into South
America, mainly in the Brazilian cosmetic market.
Now we see amazingly excellent output from this
relationship: Cosmotec's growth. We do believe
that it is a result of the outstanding teamwork and
strong work ethic of Cosmotec members, inspired
by our similar corporate cultures that place prime
importance on integrity and utmost respect for the
individual."
Cosmotec looks forward to continuing on this
success over the next 30 years and beyond - always
looking toward the future. The company will remain
steadfast in celebrating their strong relationships,
always seeking to evolve and to continue enchanting
and inspiring the cosmetic market with unique
and innovative solutions, traits that also embrace
Sumitomo philosophies on how business is achieved.

The founders' own example of determination and
entrepreneurship resulted in Cosmotec becoming
everything they dreamed of someday. "To all the
young people, I tell them to believe in their dreams
and in people," encourages Luciano.
Looking toward the Next 30 Years

With three decades of growth and momentum
paired with the support of Sumitomo Corporation,
Cosmotec has gained the fuel needed to execute its
expansion plan and embark on the beginning of a
new cycle of innovation and achievement. Today,
the company has an even better-equipped structure,
based on the consistent investment in logistics and
technology, explained Katsuya Okuyama, General
Manager, Medical Science Department, Sumitomo
Corporation.
