Current position

Through the years CIC has succeeded in achieving and holding the position as market leader in Suriname in the following product groups: Powder and liquid detergents, Dishwashing liquids, Fabric softeners, Household disinfectants, Window cleaners and Toilet bowl cleaners.

Solid relationships have been established with many companies in the Caribbean.

The introduction of our OZON quality line of products in the late nineties was successful and we now export to major Caricom destinations such as Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana, Dominica and Antigua.

With our Ozon powder laundry detergent, we now have an estimated market share of 20% in competitive markets like Trinidad and Barbados, while the volume growth of our liquid detergents is promising.

CIC took up the challenge of Caricom and is now preparing for challenges further ahead: FTAA, free trade in all the America’s.
