ICL is 25
Now, in 2012, ICL has grown into a professional firm that supplies the world, with a 1,000m2 production hall, a 500m2 office and ± 30 employees. As always, providing service is the highest priority! The know-how that the men have built up over 25 years means that ICL is increasingly operating as an advisory body in the field of high temperature gaskets, and with their help a suitable solution is always found. ICL will be celebrating its 25th birthday in style and customers and business relations will, of course, receive their invitation in good time. New website

ICL goes China
Remco Tournier has just returned from an eventful business trip to China. Besides the hectic negotiations, there was also some time for sightseeing. This was an overwhelming experience, because everything is HUGE there! The negotiations were successful and friendships were forged; we can look forward to a fruitful cooperation.

ICL as Oxfam Novib ambassador
ICL is not only concerned about its own staff, but also about the rest of society, which is why it has decided to become an Oxfam Novib ambassador. Being an ambassador means donating a sum of money every month from which microloans can be issued. This enables people in developing countries who have no access to ‘normal’ banks to still acquire a loan and start up their own business.
ICL's experience
At its staff outing last September ICL visitedExperienceIsland. While the ladies engaged in some glassblowing, the gents drove quads, shot some arrows, did an assault course AND climbed a pole to then jump from this enormous pole to a trapeze. Everyone came down from the pole as white as a sheet, but still with a sense of accomplishment. It was a really successful outing and the ladies were allowed to take their works of art home too.

ICL throws light in the darkness
ICL always selects promotional gifts with great care, which recently proved very helpful indeed. In the past few months, the USA was once again hit hard by hurricanes. One of our valued business relations, a Weil-McLain Boilers engineer in Michigan City, Indiana, got the full blast in June and had to go without any form of electricity for four long days and nights.Wasn’t he lucky to have ICL’s Christmas present handy! The wind-up solar radio plus torch included in the official Dutch emergency kit brought a spot of light in the dark and he could listen to the radio for hurricane forecasts in his area.
