The title of this year's Sepawa CAT (Cosmetic Applications and Technologies) event was "Back to the Roots or Up to the Stars? Evolution of Cosmetics".

As a prelude to the conference, 30 Sepawa members visited KHK GmbH. During the tour through our company they could learn details about the individual production steps in the manufacture of lip balm sticks.

The open exchange on topics such as sustainability in raw materials and packaging continued with the subsequent dinner on the roof terrace of the Maritim Hotel. In addition to the personal conversations, a magician cast a charming spell over us and made us laugh. Another highlight was of course the view over the roofs of Cologne, so that the day came to a nice end.
