HISTORY

   ABOUT US - OUR HISTORY

    TYCON technoglass was born in 1998 from the merger of two companies, Tycon
    SpA and Technoglass SpA, the former founded in 1969 by Dr Augusto Conti, in
    San Donà di Piave, the latter has been established at the beginning of the Eighties
    in Quarto d'Altino, both locations are near Venice. It is emphasised that at the
    time, Tycon was utilising the know-how of GLASCOTE of the United States,
    accumulated over more than 60 years. 
    Over the years, since their foundation, both companies have perfected top quality
    avant-garde techniques in glass-lined equipment for the chemical and
    pharmaceutical industries, manufacturing products and providing services that
    today are to be found throughout the world, and esteemed by the largest and most
    important companies in these sectors.  
    The merger of the two companies not only gave rise to a group with a turnover of
    more than € 27.000.000 but, more particularly, permitted the combination and
    optimisation, the synergy, of the experience, development and know-how of the
    two individual companies, with the aim of providing for their clients the satisfaction
    of their requirements to the maximum degree.
    Both the companies were acquired, in 1997, by the U.S. Corporation Robbins & Myers

    of Dayton, Ohio, the proprietors of a number of the most important
    companies in the field of fluid handling. Within this group, TYCON technoglass 
    forms part of the Reactor Systems Division.
    All activities as well as the registered head office of the company have moved to
    San Donà di Piave (Venice), via J.F. Kennedy 20.
