Who We Are
Presperse®, founded in 1981 by the late Alan B.
Black, began its success as a company based upon
a single technology, and a diverted portfolio from
Color Cosmetics to Skin and
Sun Care materials.
In 2007, Sumitomo Corporation of Americas recognized Presperse’s best-in-class products and people, and began investing in this dynamic company. In 2010, these companies joined forces as Presperse became a 100% Sumitomo Corporation subsidiary.
Sumitomo Corporation is one of the world’s leading integrated global trading firms with research, logistics, distribution and diversified industrial and consumer goods. Under the umbrella of Sumitomo, Presperse has obtained a world-class platform backed by the financial prowess of one of the world’s best, and biggest, global firms.
