Farmec is the largest cosmetics manufacturer in Romania with entirely Romanian share capital, based in Cluj-Napoca.

It launches or modernises about a hundred products a year against a production capacity of 27 million units, and groups them under Gerovital, Aslavital, Doina, Farmec, Triumf and Nufăr.
