Alfaparf Group recently announced a significant expansion in the United States with the acquisition of a new manufacturing facility in Lincoln, Rhode Island. This strategic move reinforces the company’s commitment to the North American market and its growing role in the professional beauty industry.
Recognized as the leading Italian hair color manufacturer in the world, Alfaparf Group continues to scale its global capabilities, now operating eleven manufacturing plants worldwide. This latest U.S. investment further strengthens its ability to deliver high-performance, professional solutions at a global level.
The new facility will serve as a strategic additional hub for North America, supporting both private label and contract manufacturing as well as the production of Alfaparf Group’s own brands for the region. This dual capability will enable Alfaparf Group to better support partners while strengthening its direct presence in the market with faster turnaround times, enhanced flexibility, and localized production.
By establishing a domestic manufacturing presence, Alfaparf Group aims to streamline supply chains, reduce delivery timelines, and provide tailored solutions for brands seeking high-performance, professionally driven cosmetic products, while also ensuring greater responsiveness and availability of its own product portfolio across North America.
The Rhode Island facility is designed to support the full lifecycle of product development—from formulation and scalable manufacturing to packaging and rigorous quality assurance. Initial production will focus on hair color, developers and haircare, with plans to expand into broader haircare, skincare, and personal care categories over time.
This expansion reflects Alfaparf Group’s continued investment in advanced formulations, regulatory excellence, and professional-grade performance—ensuring partners and consumers alike have access to best-in-class manufacturing and product innovation.
The facility is expected to become fully operational in 2027. In the interim, Alfaparf Group will focus on optimizing infrastructure, aligning production processes with global quality standards, and preparing the site for large-scale manufacturing operations.
This milestone marks a new chapter in Alfaparf Group’s global growth strategy—one centered on proximity to North American partners, speed to market, and long-term innovation in professional beauty.
