The 32nd edition of Luxe Pack Monaco will take place September 30th through October 2nd, 2019 at the Grimaldi Forum, with 470 exhibitors. The glamorous b2b show features all luxury sectors, including fragrance, cosmetics, spirits and more.

There are more than 30 new first-time exhibitors this year, selected for their expertise and innovations. They include Edwanex Glassworks, Flosty Pack Republic, The Hologram Company, Superga Beauty, the Silver Crane Company and Sibra.

A ‘Greener’ Year

Since the beauty industry is striving to be more “green,” Luxe Pack is as well. In partnership with the Grimaldi Forum, the building will be supplied with 100% green energy this year. A total of 2,470 square meters of photovoltaic solar panels have been installed on the roof.

Other eco-friendly changes include the use of low-consumption lamps for 81% of the venue’s lighting, the use of eco-certified cleaning products, new waste-sorting and recycling systems; in addition, badge holders will be collected for re-use.
