History


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.
