LETTER FROM THE CEO
“The expert ally you can trust”
At VIOKOX we have become a strategic ally for our customers because we understand their specific needs and we create innovative, differential and top-quality cosmetics that make our products the best choice. We live in a world that is changing at an increasingly faster pace, so one of our main priorities is to keep on top of global trends and developments in cosmetics so that we can continue to meet the expectations of our most demanding customers. Since our beginnings in 1987, we have sought to build a solvent and solid company, an inspiring and extraordinary place in which to work, innovate, develop and be happy. Fortunately, our history has been a happy one full of motivating successes as a result of all our work and effort. However, we have suffered some setbacks along the way: the most serious being the fire that broke out in 2017. One year later, we can say that the incident of the fire has actually made us stronger. During this time, all of us at VIOKOX have given the very best of ourselves, allowing us to grow in terms of personnel and turnover and enabling us to acquire a new factory equipped with unrivalled technology in the cosmetics industry.

We become a global leader in the manufacture of hair removal products, producing both waxes and chemicals in our facilities.
In the year of our 30th anniversary, a fire broke out which completely destroyed our facilities. The entire VIOKOX family pulled together to give the best of ourselves, allowing us to guarantee supply to our customers, and in record time we were able to acquire our new facilities.
In less than a year after the devastating fire at VIOKOX we open our new, modern facilities equipped with the latest technology. This allows us to expand the categories of products that we develop and manufacture, enabling us to launch our first line of specialised skin care products.
