About us
CROCI S.p.A was born in Varese in 1990, thanks to the intuition of the founder Dario Croci and his love for animals, consolidated by his ten-year experience, started in 1984 with his pet store.
Over time, through constant investment in research, continuous innovation and an ever-increasing attention to the demands of customers and end consumers, the company has gained an important leadership role in the market, expanding its business that is not limited to aquariology and dog lovers, but offers a wide selection of products for cats, reptiles, birds and rodents as well.
Today, in fact, the company has a rich product portfolio, with a catalog of over 8,000 references ranging from accessories, pet food to the production of a large collection of clothing for dogs. CROCIis a solid company that has extended the concept of Italian design to the animal world, creating real fashion collections of clothing and accessories for dogs. This has been made possible thanks to the tenacity and experience of Dario Croci, who has been able to combine the deep knowledge of the canine world, accumulated in thirty years of activity, with his origin from a family of textile merchants who transmitted to him the love and passion for this world.

Also very active internationally, the company acquired the German company Amtra which, with its strategic location in Frankfurt, serves the entire Northern European market and opened a new subsidiary in China in the GuangDong area at the end of 2018, specializing in research and development, production and quality control.
