The formulation
Mr. N.R Gupta, the founding father of the brand CICO, was not just driven by his entrepreneurial spirit when he laid the cornerstone of our company in 1930; instead he wanted to find a solution to the problems related to the entire construction procedure. Being a mining engineer of the early twentieth century, he realised the necessity of making the miner’s life easy and safe by providing chemical agents that could prevent leakage of water through the rock pores. Driven to work on this premise, he formulated special additives that could alter the properties of mortar and concrete. The initial success of his formulae spurred him to develop various specialty chemicals and systems which eventually went on to become benchmarks in the industry. |

The evolution
Our legacy was further enriched by Mr. Amit Gupta who revived Brand CICO to CICO TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED with the successful introduction of a path breaking product - CICO Tapecrete. Mr. Gupta is singularly credited for making the CICO brand synonymous with the construction industry in India. He also pioneered the introduction of organised retail marketing of construction chemicals in the nation. CICO’s commitment to comprehensive solutions related to construction, translated into expanding the product basket to Protective & Anti-corrosive Coatings, Capsules for Anchoring/Bolting, Insulation Products, New-generation Sealants, Industrial Flooring and Specialty Adhesives. |
