For many years our activities, and consequently those of the international platform of Cosmoprof, have been focused on the Chinese market, among the most important ones in the world and a source for new development opportunities.”

“The Cosmoprof China Contest is the best representation of the fact that Cosmoprof is recognizing innovation, research, and quality among Chinese companies. While organizing this event, the collaboration of BFChina has been extremely important; our agency in China is playing an important role as mediator between the BolognaFiere group and local institutions.”

Also announced at the event: A new, China-specific name for Cosmoprof, a reflection on the organizations commitment to the country.

“Cosmoprof will adopt ‘卡思曼伯’ (Chinese phonetic notation: ka si man bo) as its Chinese name for identification purposes, taking effect from now on. Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna will be officially named ‘卡思曼伯意大利博洛尼亚国际美容展,” Donna Chai, general manager of BolognaFiere China, announced at the event.

“The adoption of the Chinese name for Cosmoprof is the most important and necessary step forward in the cosmetics market of China. The entire selection process required three rounds of discussions from more than 50 Chinese names proposed. With the participation of ten professionals, including five leading Chinese cosmetics exhibiting companies and five industry media outlets, ‘卡思曼伯’ was selected as the best one, due to its character pattern, meaning, and phonology which are all in line with Cosmoprof.”
