In 1942 a group of Catalan enterprising families decided to create a company that years later would convert into Cromogenia Units and that on this stage was called Cromogenia and Chemical Tanning. The name Cromogenia came from its main action: the fabrication of chrome salts and its derivates. Those pioneer families were: Cabestany, Guix\u00e0, Guilera, Sant i Ayuso. Today it\u2019s the third generation of these first dreamers that continues provoking the growth of Cromogenia Units. This will be an honor to all the people that during these 80 years have been working to convert Cromogenia Units into what it is today: a familial company that has internationalized without losing its proximity and adaptability to its clients. But as well it is a kind of inspiration for future generations that for sure continue provoking the growth of this company. If you want to know something more about these 80 years of Cromogenia, you can read our book.<\/p>\n
