Every great brand has a story full of challenges, successes and constant adaptation to changing market conditions. Cobra Europe and Rema Tip Top are companies that perfectly reflect this path – from humble beginnings to international expansion, being leaders in their fields today.
History of Cobra Europe: From the textile industry to conveyor belts
Cobra Europe traces its roots to northern France, where the Depreux family was active in the textile industry in the late 19th century. After World War II, the company made the crucial decision to enter the conveyor belt market, which over time brought it success in providing solutions for heavy industry, including mines, steel mills and cement plants.
In 1992, Depreux transformed itself into the Cobra Group, which has since focused on developing modern conveyor belts tailored to various industries. The company continued to expand into international markets, opening an office in Katowice in 2001 and a production facility in Piekary Slaskie in 2007. Today, Cobra Europe is one of the world’s leading suppliers of conveyor belts.
