In the early years of the twentieth century, Mr. N.R. Gupta, an engineer in the coalmines of West Bengal was perplexed with the complexities and safety hazards faced by the miners due to leakage of water in the coalmines. He realized that a miner's task would be far safer and simpler, had there been a solution to prevent leakage of water through the rock pores.

Driven to work on this premise, he formulated special chemical additives that could alter the properties of mortar and concrete. The initial success of his formulae spurred him on to develop various specialty chemicals and systems that would eventually go on to become benchmarks of concrete improving techniques under the brand of "CICO".

Seven decades and three generations later, we at CICO Technologies Ltd., continue to march ahead in our pursuit of excellence through our constant endevour at introducing neo-generation technologies as well as upgrading our existing technical expertise.
