ICI: Material Advantage™ ICI develops innovative products for the transportation, construction and fire fighting industries utilizing novel, proprietary materials and processes. Our company was established in 2007 by a group of entrepreneurs with a successful track record in commercializing advanced materials. The company was founded on the idea that by improving the materials we use to make common products, we could profoundly improve on their performance in ways that would redefine the industries we enter: the Material AdvantageTM.
