Simca

Simca S.r.l. is an Italian importer and distributor of beauty products and accessories, based in Cesano Boscone on the outskirts of Milan. Founded in 1959 as an import/export house for costume jewellery and personal care items, the company has operated for more than 60 years in the beauty sector and positions itself as one of the significant specialist players in the Italian market for international beauty brand distribution.

Simca acts as the exclusive Italian distributor for international beauty brands, providing strategic support for brand development across the country's main beauty retail channels. Its current portfolio comprises around 13 brands, including Real Techniques and EcoTools (make-up brushes and applicators), Kiss (nails and lashes), Dr.PawPaw, Carbon Theory, Niyok, Suntribe, Sliick, Titania, Organic Mimi, Credo, Trim and YourCare — a mix spanning make-up accessories, skincare, natural cosmetics, sun care and beauty tools.

The company's route to market covers Italy's organised beauty distribution at every level: it partners with drugstore chains, perfumery networks, mass-market retailers, wholesalers and fashion stores, adapting global beauty trends to Italian consumer preferences and providing trade marketing, merchandising and promotional support. Recent activity has included launching seasonal beauty collections, introducing innovations such as Real Techniques' Sponge+ hybrid skincare-makeup line, and participating in charity initiatives such as "Insieme per le donne".

Simca is a small, established family-scale business: Italian registry data shows a turnover of €3.32 million in 2024 (€3.60 million in 2023 and €3.76 million in 2022), around 13 employees, and share capital of €312,000. As a buyer, Simca seeks international beauty and personal care brands — particularly in accessories, skincare, natural and sun care segments — for which it can take exclusive Italian distribution rights and build listings across perfumeries, drugstores and grocery retail, making it a focused gateway for beauty manufacturers entering the Italian market. Its six decades of trading history and long-standing relationships with Italy's organised distribution give partner brands immediate access to national listings that would otherwise take years to build independently.
