**Editor’s Note:** Yonwoo, a Kolmar Korea subsidiary, hosted its inaugural ‘Yonwoo Packaging Summit’ on the 21st, drawing over 200 attendees from 100 companies. The event focused on packaging megatrends and global quality strategies, marking a significant industry gathering.
Yonwoo, a cosmetics packaging manufacturer and subsidiary of Kolmar Korea, held the ‘Yonwoo Packaging Summit: Packaging Megatrends and Global Quality Strategy Seminar’ on the 21st at the Kolmar Korea R&D Center auditorium.
This seminar is the first large-scale event in the cosmetics industry themed around packaging trends and quality strategies. It attracted over 200 attendees from 100 companies, including domestic and international cosmetics brands, ODM/OEM companies, beauty B2B platforms, and packaging and raw material suppliers.
Since opening its Seongsu-dong showroom ‘Yonwoo Seongsu’ in Seoul in 2024, Yonwoo has been hosting a monthly ‘PTR (Packaging Trend Report) Briefing Day.’ Notably, the December event last year received significant acclaim from industry professionals for presenting new product launch trends and future directions.
The seminar was organized to review this year’s cosmetics packaging trends and to prepare for the implementation of the European Union’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). The goal was to share practical insights by providing packaging standards and quality guidelines for exports to Europe.
The event began with an opening address by Yonwoo CEO Park Sang-yong, followed by congratulatory speeches from Kolmar Korea CEO Choi Hyun-kyu and Craeber CEO Jeon Hang-il. The subsequent presentations covered topics including:
- 2026 Beauty Packaging Trend Analysis and Outlook
- Risks and Response Strategies Following PPWR Implementation
- Yonwoo’s Quality Competitiveness in the Global Beauty Market
These presentations garnered high interest from attendees.
Starting with this seminar, Yonwoo plans to regularize trend seminars and quality guideline sharing to strengthen ongoing communication with its clients. The company also aims to expand collaborative activities with Kolmar Korea to enhance synergy across design, formulation, and packaging development.
