T.p.C. Rio first got its start in 1986 as the exclusive distributor in Tuscany of Kenda Farben spa, worldwide leader in the production of chemical products for footwear. Strong from this collaboration, which continues to this day to the mutual satisfaction of both companies, T.p.c. Rio first began with its plans for expansion by specializing in the supply of materials to sole and heel manufacturers. It then went on to extend its reach to also include footwear manufacturers and tanneries.
Years of continuous growth reached their peak in 2009, when the company transferred to its present-day modern facilities located in the mega industrial area of Castelfranco di Sotto: this investment allowed it to bring all of its warehouses under a sole roof, thereby improving the logistical chain, shortening delivery times, and making its customer service increasingly effective.

Today, T.p.C. Rio supplies products and assistance not only to Italian and foreign manufacturers in the footwear industry, but also to those specialized in leather goods, thus completing its offer for the industry.

If I think about when we first began our business, – declares the founder and sole administrator of T.p.C. Rio, Luigi Palidori, –it seems like a century has passed. Over the last thirty years, the market has completely changed and we were able to become protagonists of this transformation by expanding our sphere of action, always staying abreast of the latest products and new items, while keeping pace with the latest fashion trends.
