Tradition and innovation. Cocoon was developed by Häring Nepple AG of Switzerland, a leading expert in specialised building solutions founded in 1937 by Otto Häring, a master in plaster work. The Cocoon system was perfected over 20 years up to its launch in 1998. Since then it has proven itself to be the ideal solution for many building projects.
