The Production
One of Farmen’s strongest point is the ability to manage the entire production chain within the company: from the initial concept to the selection of raw materials and active ingredients right up to production, delivery and education. Farmen guarantees the quality and reliability of its products through a meticulous procedure that controls of every step of the process. They apply tests so stringent that no more than around 100 formulas are approved every year – out of the approximately 1000 formulas evaluated. This level of control over the production phases is especially important when producing for private label where the manufacturer is responsible for the quality and reliability of the product.
Committed to Values
Farmen is not new to embrace values such as ‘respect for environment’, ‘safety at work’, ‘customer care’ and awareness that ‘profit and responsibility’ cannot be separated.
Farmen has decided to go beyond this mission statement, formalizing its values and objectives with the project: “The sustainable Colors of beauty”, a social responsibility strategy that aims at promoting a new kind of beauty, closer to the environment and the people. The first result of this commitment was the formalisation of the ‘Charter of values and commitments’ which was born as an evolving document and becomes richer through dialogue with the firm’s stakeholders.
With the aim to guarantee the maximum possible quality of its products, Farmen has developed a sustainable supply policy on the raw materials based on environmental and human rights protection. On top of that, since 2018, Farmen has asked its suppliers of the main ingredients respect this policy. Finally the company provides support and assistance in training before and after sales to ensure that products are 100% safe for humans and for the environment, thank to thousand of analysis carried out each year by quality control at R&D laboratories.
Efficiency
Technology plays a fundamental part in the production phase. One example of many is the automated system for bleach production in a controlled microclimate that Farmen has installed.This climate control system operates within the factory – over 20,000 sqm – monitoring the temperature and hydrometry and reducing polluting agents. The entire production cycle, with a capacity of around 100,000 item of product per day, is monitored from start to finish to ensure complete quality for every single product.
