Mastermind behind modern hotel cosmetic

Quality-driven, innovative and close to our customers

ADA Cosmetics International is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of hotel cosmetics. For over 40 years ADA Cosmetics International has been setting standards by manufacturing and selling high-quality body care products for hotels and their discerning guests. Our aim is to make hotel cosmetics an experience for hotel guests with collections for innovative, sophisticated, hearty and mindful hotels.

As part of this, ADA Cosmetics International offers hotels a unique wide range of body care products and also creates individualised own brands.

Good customer care and comprehensive service are provided by ADA Cosmetics International with numerous subsidiaries in Germany and abroad, an international sales and partnership network as well its own production facilities.

Groundbreaking developments such as practical dispenser solutions with over 1.6 million holders installed together with a pioneering role in issues like sustainability and social action have earnt ADA Cosmetics International a reputation as a visionary and technological leader.

Since the takeover of the British company Pacific Direct and Scanamenities from Denmark in 2015, ADA Cosmetics International has expanded its international presence and brand portfolio. ADA Cosmetics International is also pursuing a clear objective for the future: to become the first choice for branded hotel cosmetics as a hotel partner.
