Chicco

About Chicco Brand

1946: Artsana is founded.

Pietro Catelli founded Artsana, a sales agency specialised in the production and distribution of products for venapuncture and medication, that quickly became market leader.

1958: the Chicco brand is born.

After the birth of his son Enrico, affectionately named Chicco, Pietro Catelli has its greatest entrepreneurial intuition: to create a brand specialised in the field of baby care, to meet all the needs of the babies from 0 to 36 months. This marked the beginning of the trademark Chicco, a brand which soon became the reference for parents and established itself as the market leader in Italy and then worldwide.

From 1967 to 1998: the first branches of Artsana.

Artsana opens its European branch in Spain, expands to the Far East, opens its branches in USA, Turkey, Brazil and Argentina.

From 2009: the international expansion continues.

New branches open: India, Russia, Mexico and Poland.
