🌍🇮🇹💇🏼‍♀️ Cosmoprof Bologna 2025: A Global Stage, A Legacy Reimagined

Where Bristle Meets Beauty — Stallone’s World-Class Return to the International Spotlight

🛬 Introduction: More Than Just a Return

In 2025, our Director Mr. Sanjeev Kumar Jain returned to one of the most iconic venues in global beauty — Cosmoprof Bologna. But this time, he wasn’t there just to participate. He was there to reaffirm Stallone’s place as a trusted, legacy-rooted, and globally respected name in the beauty, haircare, and personal styling sectors.

Reflecting on his previous visit to the same event in 2019, Mr. Sanjeev noted,

“This is the same place I attended in 2019 — I see many familiar faces and many new ones. Back then, I came with the goal of establishing our name. Today, I walk these halls with a deeper responsibility — to strengthen relationships, showcase the values we stand for, and serve our clients with an even stronger sense of purpose.”

🇮🇳🇨🇳🇹🇼🇰🇷🇯🇵 Day 1: Across the Aisles of Asia — Legacy Meets Innovation

Mr. Sanjeev’s first day was spent at the Asia Pavilion — a vibrant, high-energy space filled with both legacy brands and exciting new entrants. With strong existing partnerships across India, Japan, South Korea, and China, Mr. Sanjeev felt right at home, navigating the bustling aisles of beautifully presented innovations and thoughtfully crafted offerings.

During his visit, he engaged in insightful conversations not only related to our own products, but also on emerging trends such as ethically formulated skincare, eco-conscious packaging, and plant-based beauty solutions — potential avenues for future diversification.

Among the many interactions, four client visits stood out as especially promising:

• A rising Korean brand of fashionable, modern hairbrushes — curious to explore bristle grades that match their bold design and performance goals.

• A powerhouse in Korean brush manufacturing, producing premium brushes for both its own brand and private label customers.

• A legacy Taiwanese brushmaker, celebrated for their high-durability designs and artisan production quality.

• A renowned Korean manufacturer of high-performance brushes and styling tools known for their technical precision and aesthetic appeal.

To each of these prospective clients, Mr. Sanjeev proudly showcased our diverse natural bristle offerings:

• Our Calcutta Extra Stiff Wild Boar Bristle — prized for its deep jet-black finish and superb stiffness

  
  

• Our Extra and Medium Stiff Root / Butt Cut Boar Bristle — engineered for precision and elegance

  
  

• Our Indian Natural Boar | Pig | Hog Bristle with Flagged Tips — the industry’s most versatile and cost-effective solution for standard brushes

🇪🇺🌍 Day 2: Reunions and Revelations at the Europe Pavilion

On Day 2, Mr. Sanjeev entered the Europe Pavilion — a space of familiar faces, heartfelt handshakes, and meaningful reunions. He made it a priority to visit each of our long-standing clients in the luxury and professional hairbrush industry, many of whom were proudly exhibiting their offerings — some of which featured our very own Indian bristle.

Each visit became a celebration of shared success. With his signature humility and sincerity, Mr. Sanjeev offered his heartfelt best wishes, even as he demonstrated new product grades, discussed market trends, and exchanged feedback.

Here are the six standout visits that made Day 2 just as unforgettable:

• A legacy Polish brushmaker, proud user of our Extra Stiff and Medium Stiff Root / Butt Cut Boar Bristle — whose warmth and commitment have made them feel like family.

• A prospective Italian heritage brand, fascinated by our Calcutta, Extra Stiff, and Medium Stiff Root / Butt Cut Boar Bristle — a promising first step towards future collaboration.

• A cherished Italian client, master makers of performance-focused hairbrushes that balance traditional and contemporary design — loyal users of our Calcutta and Root / Butt Cut Boar Bristle.

• One of our oldest German clients, known for luxury hairbrushes both under their own brand and private label — proudly using our Calcutta and Root / Butt Cut Boar Bristle.

• A prospective German private label brushmaker, exploring applications of our Indian Natural Boar | Pig | Hog Bristle with Flagged Tips across their range of artist, paint, cleaning, and technical brushes.

• A prospective Spanish family-run brushmaker, known for quality grooming tools for hair and beard — introduced to our Extra Stiff Root / Butt Cut Boar Bristle and Industry-First Mixture Bristles.

What stood out most? The remarkable legacy of family-run businesses behind each brand. Whether a father and son, father and daughter, or a husband-wife team, Mr. Sanjeev was humbled by how closely their stories mirrored his own.

“Could there be a more inspiring and beautiful example of legacy-driven diversity than this?” — Mr. Sanjeev

He returned with a renewed energy, filled with stories, smiles, shared dreams — and above all, the reminder that real success lies not in competition, but in connection.

“This visit wasn’t just about business. It was about seeing the world through new eyes — kinder, wiser, and more grateful. I leave Bologna not only with leads and insights, but with something far more lasting — a deeper sense of purpose.”
