Figures as published on fareva.com. Our 16 R&D centres design and develop products for brands throughout the world.

From your idea to a finished product, with one partner

Capacity is not the hardest thing to find. Continuity is: a product that moves from formulation to validation to commercial launch with the same partner, the same quality logic and the same knowledge.

Illustration: unbranded formats of the kind we fill, from aerosols and tubes to vials and blister packs. Not FAREVA products.

  1. Design

    Our multiple research and development laboratories are at the service of your product development. We innovate for you and develop solutions that suit your needs.

    You benefit from personalized follow-up, from the brief to the validation of the prototype.

  2. Viability

    We check the stability and compatibility of your formula, handle regulatory validation, and produce pre-series for your consumer tests or clinical studies, in strict compliance with good manufacturing practices.

  3. Production

    Thanks to our high-performance manufacturing plants, we manufacture your products quickly and flexibly, on a small or large scale, in a wide range of textures.

  4. Packaging

    Packaging is our core business, which explains the high quality of our lines and the expertise of our operators. Whatever its form, we package your product and deliver it finished.

    Where it began: in 1981, Bernard Fraisse, 25 years old, created a small packaging unit.

Five sectors, one industrial culture

We customize the solution you need. Each sector has its own sites, laboratories and quality teams, and the whole group behind it.

Fareva means “inspire to dream”

In 2005, true to his ambitious spirit and his roots, Bernard Fraisse renamed his company Fareva, which means “inspire to dream” (faire rêver) in a dialect spoken in the Ardèche region of France. The name still reflects the spirit of our group.

In the space of thirty years, we have transformed a local small business into a multinational group recognized for the quality and innovative nature of its expertise. Still headed by its founder, and still guided by the values he instilled from the outset: passion, enthusiasm, autonomy and acknowledgment.

Newspaper clipping in French headed “de la haute technologie à la haute sécurité”, with a photograph of the new aerosol line.
1991: the local press reports FCA's new aerosol production and filling unit “in open country, south of Tournon”, sized for 30 million aerosols a year.
Newspaper clipping in French headed “La maîtrise du sur-mesure”, a profile of FCA with a portrait of Bernard Fraisse.
1990s: “La maîtrise du sur-mesure”, the mastery of made-to-measure. The profile's strapline reads “formulation, fabrication et conditionnement d'aérosols”.
