The ICI India story began way back in 1911 when Brunner Mond & Co, one of the four companies that combined in 1926 to form ICI in UK, opened a trading office in Calcutta to sell alkalis and dyes. In 1923, it became Brunner Mond & Co (India) and in 1929 the name was changed to Imperial Chemical Industries (India) Ltd. This was followed by a period of sustained expansion, diversification and growth. ICI India manufactures and markets paints, speciality chemicals, rubber chemicals, adhesives & starch. The company, through its joint venture, also manufactures and markets fragrances and flavours. With an employee strength of about 1200 (including its JVs), ICI India's manufacturing sites, business and sales offices and distribution network spans the length and breadth of the country.
