Cosaco

Essential copper salts

Cosaco is the new company name for the two entities previously called Spiess-Urania Chemicals and Kocide, coming together under one unified global brand with an aspiration as the global expert in copper salts. Cosaco remains part of the global Mitsui & Co., Ltd., Tokyo, group.

Cosaco has evolved from more than 260 years combined experience of innovation and technologies in copper salt products. Spiess-Urania Chemicals’ history goes back to 1815 in Germany, while Kocide’s story began in the early 1960’s when the American copper company Kennecott developed its first copper salt product for crop protection.

Cosaco’s new name and modern look aligns with our commitment to our new slogan “essential copper salts“, which is built on our expertise through providing sustainable solutions for our customers around the world with this essential element.

Cosaco’s Copper DNA

Copper salts

Copper played a vital role in the rise of civilisations, such as with its use in bronze. Copper is used today in many applications, where progress in science and technology has enabled new features that deliver improved efficiency through modern applications.

Copper salts evolved from these developments, where copper hydroxide, copper oxychloride, basic copper carbonate and cuprous oxide are now used across a broad range of applications including:

  • agriculture
  • wood protection
  • antifouling
  • specialized industrial uses

Cosaco offers a diverse portfolio of modern copper salt product solutions, based entirely on sustainable recycled copper.
