Cooperation envisaged under supplier, distribution or commercial agreements for local import and distribution
Full Description
Based in North Macedonia, the company is a leading distributor in the national beauty and professional care sector. With a robust distribution network and its own educational center for professional training, the company has built a stable client base consisting of:
• Professional Beauty and Hair Salons: Requiring high-end wax products, skin treatments, and professional hair care.
• Pharmacies and Specialized Stores: Seeking clinical-grade cosmetic products.
• Retail Markets: Requiring consumer-friendly beauty and personal care items.

The company is now looking to diversify its offer by importing complementary products such as professional cosmetics, innovative salon tools, and equipment. The desired outcome of an international partnership is to establish long-term supply contracts that allow the company to act as the official representative or distributor for the Macedonian market. The company offers deep market knowledge, established logistics, and professional marketing support for new brands.
Advantages and Innovations
• Established local channel: the company operates the largest professional cosmetics e-shop in North Macedonia and a demo salon for product trials and training, enabling fast market introduction and professional endorsement.
• B2B focus: the platform and sales model target registered salon partners (beauty & hair salons) and professional users — ideal for professional product launches.
• Flexibility for pharmacies/retail: capability to supply both professional lines for salons and OTC cosmetic items for pharmacies and supermarkets, plus packaged consumer SKUs adaptable for retail channels.
