Coty Inc said on Wednesday it would close its manufacturing site in Cologne, Germany as a part of the cosmetics and makeup company’s efforts to consolidate its fragrance operations.

The company last year announced a plan to cut costs, improve supply chain and reduce debt, which came as the Covid-19 pandemic kept salons and department stores, where its products are sold, shut.

“Our network has been operating over-capacity in recent years and the considerable impact of Covid-19 has accelerated the need to take action,” said Richard Jones, global chief supply officer.

The changes are expected to bring annual net savings for Coty.
