“ICONS is a leader in beauty packaging and Joaquim’s proven industry experience will be key in our plans for vertically integrated manufacturing in the USA. The ICONS America factory in Charlotte, North Carolina is well positioned to supply a broader offering of high quality, made-in-USA packaging."

Joining us as President, he can hit the ground running and enhance our capabilities and broaden our packaging portfolio.”
“It is an exciting time to join ICONS America and I am honored to have the opportunity to lead the company in its next phase of growth by increasing our packaging offerings for the beauty and wellness industry. ICONS America’s manufacturing capabilities and its ability to closely work with other portfolio companies within the ICONS Beauty Group is a compelling combination. I love what I do, I love this sector, and I’ve been in the industry for a long time. Returning to the ICONS America facility feels like coming home and I’m looking forward to working with Susanne and her team.”
