OUR HISTORY

  • Industrie Pica was born as a natural evolution of Pica S.p.A., with the aim of befittingly overseeing all customer needs in the field of finishing components for construction.
  • The history of the Pica brand starts in the late 1930s, when the Fornace Laterizi Pierangeli e Cangiotti was rebuilt and expanded following extensive damage during the war.
  • In 1954, the two shareholders converted the company into Pica S.p.A., with the name derived from the letters of their respective surnames.
  • In the mid-1980s, the Cotto Zoni company was taken over. With this acquisition, the Group entered into the field of rustic terracotta flooring – the first major integration of the Pica range.
  • In 1991, the Group took over Cotto David, a company based in Asciano in the province of Siena. In this way, the Pica offering was enriched with traditional Tuscan terracotta flooring.
  • In 2008, the factory in Portacomaro (Asti) was inaugurated, being one of the most modern plants for the production of brick roofing in Italy, allowing us to obtain certification for 500 frost/thaw cycles, being amongst the best claddings produced in Italy today and guaranteed for 30 years.
  • Since May 2017, the Company has been managed by the French Terreal Group through its subsidiary Terreal Italia Srl. The Terreal Group is a world leader in the brick industry, with establishments in France, Spain, Malaysia and the United States.
