EXPORT MAGAZINE: The Cosval Group, a long-established company in the
sector of skincare and food supplements, has extended its activity in
recent years to the sector of home fragrances and perfumes, creating
the brand of Locherber Milano. Can you describe the evolution over time
of your company? Yours is a family business now in the third generation…
BRIGITTE BARLOCHER: Our company was founded more than fifty years
ago by our grandfather and we started to sell products for health and beauty
mainly in herbalists’. For many years the Swiss product, where we originally
come from, was at the heart of our business. The name of the company,
Cosval, comes from the union of the words Cosmetics and the Valais Canton.
Having an Italian soul as well, and a passion for everything that concerns
art, Locherber Milan was created in 2010: a very innovative brand for us,
which combines fragrances for the home with design, in part which can be
customized with unique and precious materials such as marble, semi-precious
stones and rare woods.
