Concept development
Transform a commercial opportunity into a defined cosmetic concept with target customer, positioning, format, claims direction and product architecture.
European ODM Cosmetic Development
ODM cosmetics developed from opportunity to market-ready product.
Build complete cosmetic products through concept development, formulation, sampling, packaging integration, documentation and scalable manufacturing from Romania.
ODM development model
A complete framework for building differentiated cosmetic products.
ODM cosmetic manufacturing is designed for companies that need more than production alone. It combines commercial concept development, product definition, formulation, packaging and manufacturing preparation.
This model is especially useful when a company has identified a market opportunity but requires support translating that opportunity into a technically viable cosmetic product or collection.
fabKABINETT coordinates the project from the initial brief and concept architecture through sampling, approval, documentation, industrial manufacturing and shipment preparation.

Samples are reviewed for appearance, fragrance, texture, application, performance and alignment with the intended market position.
Packaging integration
Packaging components, compatibility requirements, artwork, labels and production files are coordinated around the approved product.
Testing and documentation
Applicable stability, compatibility, quality and regulatory documentation requirements are coordinated before production.
Industrial manufacturing
The approved project enters manufacturing, filling, labeling, coding, quality control and final shipment preparation.
Suitable projects
Built for companies that need both product creation and manufacturing.
New brands requiring product strategy and technical development
Retailers building exclusive cosmetic collections

Quantities and planning
Project quantities defined around development and industrial requirements.
ODM minimum quantities depend on the number of products, formulation complexity, raw materials, packaging components, testing requirements and manufacturing setup.
Projects involving several custom products or dedicated components may require larger commitments than standardized manufacturing models.
Each project is evaluated individually so commercial ambition, development scope and manufacturing feasibility are aligned before work begins.
