Milestones of Our History
Relive the key moments that shaped ICB Pharma.
1997
Where Innovation Began
Initially, the acronym „ICB” stood for Insect Control Baits, but as the company evolved, it took on a new meaning: Innovation with Chemistry and Biology. Innovation, science, and passion is what became the foundation of our global success story.
2000
ICB Pharma – A Bold Start with Great Ambitions
Most importantly, exports became the foundation of our development and the key to our success on the international stage from the start.
The Innovation That Became a Legend
In 2000, production began of the Faratox® CS preparation – an agent that forever changed the approach to combating pharaoh ants. Its innovative double-walled microcapsule technology ensured the bait was not only exceptionally attractive but also achieved 100% effectiveness within just 5 days.
These impressive results attracted the attention of major European partners in the Pest Control industry. The first was the Hungarian company Babolna Bio. They were soon joined by companies from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Germany, opening the doors to Europe and the world for us.
2002
Allergoff® – A Breakthrough in the Fight Against Allergies
The Allergoff® brand was created in response to the growing needs of people suffering from allergies, asthma, and rhinitis. Its strength lays in the concept of tackling the causes, not just the symptoms of allergies – an approach that revolutionized thinking about prevention.
Thanks to this, Allergoff® quickly gained the trust of patients and doctors under the ARIA guidelines. To this day, it remains a symbol of conscious prevention, improving the quality of life for thousands of families in over 30 countries worldwide.
2003
Teraz Polska Award – A Mark of Excellence
In 2003, ICB Pharma was honored with the prestigious Teraz Polska Award, presented by the President of Poland. This was a symbolic moment where our core technology of active substance microencapsulation, fundamental to Allergoff®, received the highest national recognition. The award confirmed that Polish technological innovation has global potential.
2008
Attracide® - A Breakthrough in Pest Control
In 2008, Attracide® was launched – a liquid food bait with unprecedented effectiveness. Its legendary formula allowed it to capture all key markets across Europe, Russia, Africa, and South America.
Fruit Fly Trap Captures the American Market
That same year, we debuted in the USA with innovative traps for flies, wasps, and fruit flies. Our products quickly found their way onto the shelves of retail giants like Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, ACE Hardware, Costco, and Amazon.
2009
BRC – The Certificate That Opened Doors
Our new line of repellents with effectiveness lasting over 24 hours gained recognition in the markets of Switzerland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.

Innovations That Transcend Borders

2013
From Pipi to Nitolic® - A Success Story
The Pipi brand debuted between 1990-2012, quickly gaining recognition for its effectiveness against head lice. Its evolution resulted in the Nitolic brand – a family of specialized products that now holds the number one position in Poland for lice protection.
To date, over 7 million units have been sold in 36 countries, confirming the brand’s global success.
2014
