PRODUCTION OF DUCRAY HYDROALCOHOLIC GEL

The Pierre Fabre Group is today fully focused on producing hydroalcoholic gel at its dermo-cosmetic manufacturing facility in Soual (Tarn, France). As part of our long-standing partnership with pharmacists, our commitment is to:
  • Enable both pharmacists and their teams to continue working while preserving their health
  • Meet the needs of non-hospitalized French consumers who require hydroalcoholic gel to protect themselves from COVID-19
As hydroalcoholic gel is not usually manufactured by our group, our production teams have had to adapt their processes with "whatever means were at hand": 
 
  • Transformation of the production line (generally reserved for shampoos)
  • Use of available 100 ml bottles (usually used by the Klorane brand, also part of the Pierre Fabre Group)
  • Use of available ingredients: alcohol, glycerine, purified water (compliant with the formula in the French government decree).
  • Printing more than 500,000 labels as quickly as possible

DUCRAY DONATES 50,000 BOTTLES OF HYDROALCOHOLIC GEL TO HOSPITALS & PHARMACIES

To help hospitals and healthcare personnel in the Occitanie region, Ducray has donated 50,000 bottles of hydroalcoholic gel (100 ml), produced in Soual (Tarn, France) and shipped from our logistics center in Muret (Haute-Garonne, France).
The packages also include masks, overshoes and hats supplied by our parent company, the Pierre Fabre Group. More than ever, this protective equipment is needed by caregivers and healthcare providers who are on the front line in the daily fight against the virus.
This initiative is an opportunity to pay tribute to the exceptional dedication of healthcare professionals combating the COVID-19 pandemic.

HYDROALCOHOLIC GEL MARKETED UNDER THE DUCRAY BRAND

The product will be sold in pharmacies for the maximum retail price of 3 euros (100 ml bottle), as set by the French government, to make this product affordable to all.
We plan to produce at least 300,000 bottles (the equivalent of 30 tons) in April.
We will adjust our production capacity for May based on the availability of the components required for manufacturing this product.
