Avon: company history
In 1986, the American salesman David McConnell founded the California Perfume Company, which in 1936 was renamed the now-famous Avon cosmetics company. Buyers of books, to which he presented small perfumes as a souvenir, inspired him to create the company. Later they began to ask him to bring not only perfumes from other countries, but also soap and other cosmetics. These requests inspired McConnell to create a company where agents would collect orders and deliver products directly from laboratories to customers.
At first, the assortment included 5 perfumes - with aromas of violet, hyacinth, heliontrop, lily of the valley and white rose. Perfumes were produced in a small room, and the representative of the company was Miss P. Albi.
In 1897, the small laboratory moved to a large one in Suffern, and in 1971 its size increased from 300 square meters. m. up to 30,000 square meters. m. Today, all Avon cosmetics are being developed there, and then it is distributed throughout the world.
In the 1950s, the company entered the international arena - in 1959 the first European representative office was opened. Buyers appreciated the high quality of cosmetics and soon opened representative offices in Germany, Italy, Spain and France.
In Russia, Avon began to develop in 1995, the Russian segment of the company is one of the fastest growing.
Like most large companies, Avon locates its plants around the world. They are in Poland, Germany, Italy, Great Britain, Canada, the USA, and since 2004 - in Russia. All plants produce products developed in Suffern and support not only American standards, but also those that are accepted in the producing country.
