HISTORY
The adventure began in 1972 when Georges Marchand decided to create his company around a simple idea: to bring added value to hoteliers by offering them quality cosmetic products in partnership with recognized brands. The concept of the “personalized welcome product” was born.
It is L’Oréal with Ô de Lancôme who will be the first to support the project. Success was immediate, 45 years later with a unique portfolio of more than 30 brands, Groupe GM continues its growth relying on a network of exclusive agents covering more than 70 countries.
