FDI and Sunstar in Etoy, Geneva

December 10, 2012

During my last stay in FDI Geneva, I had the pleasure to visit Sunstar head office in Etoy, Switzerland.

Sunstar is a leading global company in the Mouth & Body Care field,eg GUM, Butler and Ora2.

We had the opportunity to share FDI’s projects, namely Vision 2020 and take notice of Sunstar global approach and Sunstar Foundation.

Curious, the designation of the company started from the concept of brushing teeth twice daily, in the morning, Sun and in the evening, Star…

Thanks to Mayumi, Mayur and Shigeki for a wonderful reception to the FDI!
