CICO has been carrying on the legacy of its founding father, Mr. N.R. Gupta, a mining engineer, for more than 90 years. Mr. Gupta was gripped by a desire to find a solution to prevent leakage of water in the mines and safeguard miners’ lives. He formulated special additives that could alter the properties of mortar and concrete.
Thus began the journey of CICO.
The initial success was built upon by the next generation led by Mr S.R. Gupta who went on to develop various specialty chemicals and systems which went on to become benchmarks in the industry.
We have adhered to the vision of our founder and walked that path. CICO has lived through the freedom struggle, the birth of the nation, the trauma that followed, and later India’s rise as a modern country.
The company has always evolved with the changing needs and demands. With Mr. Amit Gupta taking over the reins came the revival of Brand CICO through CICO TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED. The biggest path-breaking product under this drive was CICO Tapecrete. Mr. Amit Gupta also pioneered retail marketing of construction chemicals opening new avenues.
As we move forward, we can know that Brand CICO will always stand for quality and uncompromising commitment to our customers.
