Renato Semerari, CEO of Intercos Group, stated in a March 2022 interview that the company closed 2021 with double-digit growth, driven by a strong recovery in the makeup segment, which represents 60% of revenue, and continued growth in skincare. He noted that the year was complicated due to a low order backlog at the start and supply chain issues in the second half, but that the company added nearly 200 new clients to its portfolio, bringing the total to over 720. Semerari said the company is focused on expanding its presence in Asia, having closed the acquisition of a facility in India in November 2021. He described 2022 as a challenging year from a macroeconomic and geopolitical perspective, but reported that order intake remained "extraordinary" and that the company expected another year of double-digit growth. He attributed ongoing difficulties to supply chain disruptions, including the lockdown of the port of Shanghai, and noted that the Russia-Ukraine crisis had a low direct business impact on Intercos, though the company was implementing a support plan for its Ukrainian employees in Poland.
