Since 1925 UCIC is a leading company in the productions of color paints and varnishes. Mission: A technologically advanced research laboratory, well-tested formulations, strictly controlled production processes, an effective custom-oriented trading organization are the components of a very modern company ready to face the challenges of the second millennium. UCIC Company was established in 1925 in the center of Asti, from an idea of Aldo Pronzato: coloured earths, oxides, anilines for the narrow local market, have been the strong basis on which the Company started to build its own corporate identity in the first postwar period. In the ‘50s UCIC Company widens its sales to whole Italy and abroad, and reaches an important position in its field within only a few years. Since 1970 UCIC was the first Italian Company which used acrylic resins in the formulation of nearly all its water-based colours and 1978 completely replaced the solvent-based products formulation and the conventional white spirit (16-18% aromatics) with dearomatised white spirit (max 0.1% aromatics!). In the same period, all the pigments containing lead (chromates and molybdates) and lead dryers were totally replaced in order to obtain the best results for solvent-based products, in full obedience of the environment. In 2008, the trade mark CASAITALIA was created for the Decorative line. In 2008 as well, the Professional line TECHNOVA was introduced and the tintometric system COLORDREAM has been implemented.
