Eurofragance’s 2017 growth driven by strong results in Asia-Pacific, Turkey
Spanish fragrance producer Eurofragance continues to expand and diversify its business. In 2017, it generated a revenue in excess of €72.2 million, up 5% compared to the previous financial year.

Some of the more mature markets are growing too, with revenue in Europe and Spain rising 17% and 18% respectively.
Eurofragance is also establishing a foothold in markets new for the company, such as the USA, where it recently acquired a majority stake in Fragrance Design, an Atlanta-based company. The operation will be finalised in later in 2018.
In 2017, Eurofragance’s Personal Care and Household divisions posted positive results, growing 22% and 24% respectively. Laurent Mercier, the recently appointed CEO of Eurofragance, hinted that the company’s 2020 plan will be focusing on growth and profitability.
In 2017, Eurofragance increased its workforce from 271 to 280 employees, with 24 different nationalities represented among the staff.
