DICOTA — The Computer Bag.

DICOTA was born in 1992 from a simple idea: transporting computers from A to B – safely, conveniently, and efficiently.

When computers became mobile in the early 90s, our journey started. For decades, DICOTA has stood as a synonym for constant innovation and premium quality.

Our Heritage

More than 30 years of quality, functionality and reliability.

1992

2023

Established in Germany

DICOTA GmbH was founded in 1992 in Bietigheim-Bissingen by Siegmund Gailing. Computers became portable for the first time and needed a reliable and convenient transport solution.

1992

Founding of the sub-brand BASE XX

BASE XX was introduced to the market. The brand contained a collection of different types of bags in the entry-level price segment. In 2021, the entire collection was reworked and relaunched.

2002

First bags made from natural materials

The two messenger bags with an alpine look picked up on the "Green IT" trend of the 2000s. They were made of both robust and environmentally friendly canvas cotton fabric and leather.

2009

First collection made from recycled PET

RECLAIM was the name of the first collection made from rPET. In total, more than 200,000 mobile users chose one of the 16 models — a great success story!

2010

New product categories: locks and filters

The portfolio expanded with privacy filters in 2010 and notebook locks in 2013. Today we offer a large selection with the fitting accessories for almost every notebook.

2013

First IT brand member of amfori BSCI

2015

Addition of mobile working accessories

Further accessories were added to the portfolio to support the trend of mobile working and to make working on the move as comfortable as possible.

2019

Sustainable goal achieved: 95% of bags recycled

In DICOTA's anniversary year, we can expect further collections made from recycled PET. In addition, carrying solutions from the existing portfolio will be converted to rPET.

2022

Launch of the "Safety at Work" portfolio

2023

One for all. All for you.

People make the real difference. Top performance only comes from motivated and reliable colleagues. The specific role matters less than the daily motivation to make things a little better. That's what we live by at DICOTA.
