Avon will be establishing new Research and Development operations in Brazil and Poland, two of the largest markets in its business. As a result, the company will be closing its Research & Development operations in Suffern, New York. This is part of Avon's Open Up and Grow strategy to deliver aspirational beauty at irresistible value through an omnichannel, high-touch relationship selling model.

Locating R&D in key Avon markets will enable closer connections with Representatives and Consumers and build seamless communities with its supply chain operations and with Natura in Brazil, co-locating R&D at the Cajamar site.
