OUR STORY
TUSICA is the the first soap and detergent company in northern Colombia, founded in 1905. With almost 120 years in the domestic and international market, has been transformed over time, managing to adapt to constant changes and even more recently the globalization of markets.
The company moves from the sector known as “Barranquillita” to its current headquarters on via 40, today the most important industrial zone of Barranquilla.
The Tusica company is born: acronym that comes from the German regions of the Ritzel and Backhaus partners: TU (ringia), SI (lecia), and CA (Colombia). Since then we are located in the current premises in the northern industrial area “Via 40”.
We introduced a fine powder soap under the brand ISI for the new laundry machines which was a new technology during those days.
The traditional method of making soap in mold was superseded by the current vacuum plant to improve quality and productivity.
Jabonería Tusica begins to record losses, and banks close the possibility of accessing loans.
Tusica begins a recovery process that continues to grow the company today. We started to diversify our portfolio to a new trend of cleaning and sanitizing products that were mandatory for the food division, so we have launched specialized formulas to meet every type of industry, like bottling, dairy, poultry, tuna plants among many others.
Tusica Soap Factory makes a long term investment on its infrastructure modernization.
