Kollant, our history is our identity
Kollant was founded in 1960. Its main business was producing glue for shoe manufacturing, due to its location between Padua and Venice, along the Brenta River, one of the most famous shoe district in Italy. The former owner of Kollant was very ambitious and he studied a new formulation, coming from the glue for shoes, developing the rat glue.
Kollant is nowadays well-known for its red and yellow rat glue tube. Our history tells about Kollant evolution: from shoes glue to the rat glue, to Adama, our role in the market changed different times, we have always been semper fidelis to our identity and quality.
We really want to win the hearts of our customers, to become a reference for quality, safety and effectiveness. The real strength of Kollant is our staff. The majority of our employees have been working here for many years. They trust the company and Kollant believes in them because people value is the thing that actually matters.
