Company History

Coty was founded in Paris in 1904 by François Coty, a pioneer in the modern perfume industry. The company grew through acquisitions, particularly in the early 2000s, and in 2016 spun off its professional beauty and retail hair divisions as Wella. Coty has since focused on prestige beauty, completing the acquisition of many brands from Procter & Gamble in 2016, and has continued to expand its portfolio, with major brands like CoverGirl and Kylie Cosmetics. Today, Coty is headquartered in New York but maintains a strong heritage in Europe, particularly in Paris and its manufacturing sites in Spain.
