ICC Group Inc.

What ICC Group Inc. does

ICC Industries Inc. is a privately-held, family-owned diversified holding company headquartered at 152 West 57th Street, New York, founded in 1950 by John Farber as a one-person chemical trading activity. The company operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries across specialty chemicals, plastics, additives, coatings, and dietary supplements, with manufacturing facilities in the United States (Richmond VA, Garfield NJ, Jasper TN, Dover OH, Hammond IN, Easton MD) and Romania (Timișoara). ICC traces its industrial heritage to early 20th century Romania, where Eugene Farber founded The United Factory for Varnishes and Paints; the business was nationalized after WWII, and the family reacquired a controlling interest in the privatized entity (now Azur) during the 1990s. The company remains under second-generation family ownership with no external private equity or venture capital backing.

The operating platform consists of six core entities: ICC Chemical Corporation (global chemicals trading arm handling plastics and pharmaceuticals worldwide), Primex Plastics Corporation (described as the largest extruder of custom polystyrene sheet in the industry, with downstream entities Primex Design & Fabrication covering full production lifecycle from raw materials to recycling, and Primex Color, Compounding & Additives producing color concentrates, additive masterbatches, and specialty compounds), Dover Chemical Corporation (specialty chemicals including alkylphenols, chlorinated alkanes, polymer additives, antioxidants, flame retardants, and metalworking/drilling fluid additives), Konsyl Pharmaceuticals (digestive and wellness dietary supplements with eight decades of brand history), and Azur (Romanian paints, coatings, synthetic resin, and compression molding products for construction).

ICC operates primarily as a business-to-business enterprise with a quote-based pricing model across its specialty chemicals and plastics divisions, while Konsyl distributes dietary supplements to both consumers and retailers. The company serves vertically segmented markets including plastics manufacturing, metalworking and drilling, construction, and health and wellness. No revenue, pricing, or headcount figures are publicly disclosed, and the group does not maintain any AI/ML or software product offerings based on available source material. The business model combines capital-intensive domestic manufacturing with global trading distribution and European production, supported by multi-decade brand equity in chemicals and consumer health products.
