1976 – 2026
The story begins
1976
The origins
From the first laboratories to a presence in Italy’s major tanning districts. With the birth of Codyeco, a simple yet revolutionary idea took shape: combining the sale of chemical products with the guarantee of daily technical support. A new era had dawned in the industry.

National expansion
The opening of the Solofra and Arzignano branches represented a strategic breakthrough for Codyeco: the two tanning districts were destined to become symbols of quality, dynamism and authentic Italian craftsmanship. From the beginning, we guaranteed local players a constant presence, with close assistance and support at every stage. This was how our national expansion journey began.

Towards new horizons
Between the 1990s and the beginning of the twenty-first century, Codyeco broadened its horizons and consolidated its structure. The birth of the Finishing division, expansion into international markets and the transactions that led the company to join the Royal Smit & Zoon group illustrate a crucial phase in its growth: a journey of vision, evolution and openness to the world.
