Company History

Zelnova Zeltia is a Spanish company operating in the household chemicals industry. Its roots go back to 1939, when Zeltia, S.A. began manufacturing and selling chemical products. The current company, Zelnova Zeltia, S.A., was formed on December 30, 1991, when it was spun off from Cooper Zeltia, S.A., inheriting that business. It describes itself as a European leader in air fresheners, cleaning products, insecticides, and personal care.
