In early June, Actichem president, Mr. Felix Peru, travelled to Japan to attend the 7th Cosmetic Ingredients and Technology Expo (CITE) 2015. The bustling, bayside city of Yokohama hosted the once-a-year 3-day event which was attended by a conglomerate of technical people and executives belonging to the Cosmetics Industry from around the world.

Mr. Peru’s itinerary included a trip to Gifu where he visited the headquarters of our major supplier, Ichimaru Pharcos, for the first time. After a whole day of plant visits, he, together with Ichimaru’s marketing staff, then travelled by bullet train to Yokohama.
