The Rise of Regionalization

At LUXE PACK New York, there was one word on everyone’s lips: regionalization.

Building Resilience

As tariffs disrupt global sourcing, beauty brands are reshaping their supply chains for resiliency. It's not just about avoiding tariffs nor moving away from China; it’s about diversifying smartly and looking closer to home for more sustainable options.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Remember that tariffs come down to where the product is filled at its last stop, not necessarily where the packaging components come from

• Smart diversification combines US, Europe, South America, Asia for each area’s unique strengths — not one over the other

HOW ALDER IS AHEAD

• Since inception, Alder has invested in strategic regionalization by building an exclusive network of manufacturing partners across the globe

• We’re the only US company with access to Simex, a manufacturing powerhouse in Colombia with 55 years of beauty packaging expertise

• Nearshore sourcing = more sustainable and quicker turnaround, less transportation and energy required

BOTTOM LINE

Whether tariffs rise or fall, beauty brands deserve to know their packaging options and all of the factors at play
