About us

The 3 partners have a unique knowledge of the global beauty markets and of its brands. They have a very complementary expertise. They have each been able to build a personal relationship with many market players, large or small. Their expertise is essential to distinguish the high potential brands from a “flash in the pan”. Their operational and management experience also makes them ideal partners for an investor in the post-acquisition phase.

The beauty market is a dynamic and resilient one. Changing rapidly due to the exponential development of e-commerce, which has broken down barriers to entry, it is one of the most promising markets for the creation of new brands. In Europe, the US, China, and other regions around the world, new players have emerged, some of which could become the major brands of tomorrow. At the same time, the established players must continue to create value through an ambitious e-commerce strategy, while adapting their organization to this new situation. P.B.C. has the expertise to support both these recognized beauty companies in search of value creation, and Investment Funds in making investment choices in this dynamic but complex market.
