Specialty chemicals company Clariant’s cosmetics ingredients site in Tangerang, Indonesia has become the firm’s eighth location to achieve the Cosmetics Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification.

"Clariant is committed to being a leading partner for the personal care sector," comments Mauro Bergamasco, head of Global Marketing Business Unit Industrial & Consumer Specialties.

"The extension of ISO 22716 accreditation to Indonesia and across the rest of our sites is official testimony to our ability and dedication to provide not only exciting and sustainable innovations, but the transparency and consistency that our customers need to be efficient in their local operations and new product development."
