TEAMWORK

With our service mindset, we stand at our clients’ side as a reliable partner and honest adviser – like a Swiss mountain guide. Our attitude enables us to achieve and defend the industry-leading position of our company ARVAL and our partners’ brands.
FUNDAMENTAL ATTITUDE
SERVICE MINDSET AS THE FUNDAMENTAL ATTITUDE
Sustainability is our goal, both in processing and in product formulation. In one sense this is the Swiss norm, but there are crucial differences that we cultivate. In developing and producing products for our partner brands, we are considerate of the environment and always have future generations in mind.
SUSTAINABILITY
NEXT-LEVEL SWISS COSMETICS
We use state-of-the-art technology and are always open to new approaches and solutions. The highest quality standards are always paramount. This is why we invest so much in research and development.
TECHNOLOGY
NEXT-LEVEL SWISS COSMETICS
Our quality management is like a protective hand that watches over our departments and processes. A well-oiled team implements the specifications of the applicable quality standard ISO22716 GMP with cutting-edge technology and ensures the necessary continuous improvement processes. In this we are supported by our comprehensively equipped quality lab, modern IT and many years of experience in the assessment of analyses and tests.
QUALITY
THE QUALITY FOR WHICH WE ARE APPRECIATED
QUALITY AND KNOW-HOW FROM SWITZERLAND
ARVAL –
A SUCCESS STORY
Laboratoires Biologiques ARVAL SA stand for supreme quality in our products and for optimum flexibility in our services, and have done so consistently for over 70 years.
QUALITY AND
FLEXIBILITY
ARVAL is the strategic partner for the development and production of our scientifically sound skin care products under the VALMONT brand. We can attest to two of ARVAL’s core characteristics: the highest quality with optimum flexibility.
Sophie Vann-Guillon
These two characteristics, which are confirmed by our customers, stand in strong contrast to one another. Flexibility tends to come at the expense of quality. The fact that ARVAL is known for both, shows that they work very close to the optimum in this respect. Just how many internationally successful Swiss brands have their roots in Laboratoires Biologiques ARVAL is unknown. What is known, however, is that there are many of them and that they include the leading Swiss skin-care brands. Laboratoires Biologiques ARVAL SA take pride in the ability to consistently supply top-level products and services in a permanently shifting environment. And this capability is more in demand today than ever before. It is why the company has realigned itself once again and now focuses on the new themes on the market – sustainability and clean beauty.
