Reflections at HPCI 2024: Success in Personal Care Ingredients

HSH Chemie made a strong impact at HPCI 2024, featuring innovative personal care ingredients and home care solutions while fostering industry partnerships.

 

The 13th edition of HPCI Central and Eastern Europe, held from September 25-26, 2024, at EXPO XXI in Warsaw, Poland, was more than just a tradeshow—it was a vibrant meeting ground where industry leaders, formulators, and innovators came together to shape the future of the personal care ingredients and home care solutions industries.

HSH Chemie was pleased to be an exhibitor at the event, showcasing our latest sustainable ingredients and building meaningful connections, while solidifying our role as a trusted partner in the personal care ingredients and home care solutions industries. We were thrilled to be joined by our partners Frey + Lau, Lipoid Kosmetik, and Hallstar, whose collaboration was integral to our successful presence at the show. 

HPCI 2024: Where Innovation and Networking Collide 

With over 180 exhibitors and countless industry professionals, HPCI 2024 buzzed with energy and excitement. The HSH Chemie exhibition booth became the go-to spot for engaging exchanges, product presentations, and demonstrations. As a leader in Central and Eastern Europe, we took the opportunity to highlight our personal care ingredients solutions that cater to evolving market demands for cleaner, safer, and more sustainable ingredients. 

But it wasn’t just about products—it was about people. The lively atmosphere fostered conversations that delved deep into industry trends, regulatory developments, and how HSH Chemie’s personal care ingredients can help businesses stay ahead of the curve. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with our partners' representatives, explore their latest natural cosmetic ingredients, and experience them firsthand through product samples and hypoallergenic fragrances testing.
