The story of CIC Group begins in Seoul, 1986 — the years when Korea was opening its doors to the world. We made it our work to build a bridge between two continents. The first materials of that bridge were not glamorous: granite tools, abrasives, and scrap metal trading that found new value in what others discarded. Dealing honestly in places others overlooked — that was our starting point.

Forty years widened that bridge to the scale of a continent. What began as a single office in Seoul reached Georgia, USA, then took root in Ontario, Canada. From Toronto, Mississauga, and Hamilton, through New York, Atlanta, Orlando, and Dallas, to Mexicali — our partner network today is bound not by contracts alone, but by decades of face-to-face relationships. In the industrial world, trust cannot be advertised. The promised quality, on the promised date, at the promised price — repeated for forty years. There is no other way.

That trust, in time, posed us a new question: this bridge that carried the needs of industry — what should it carry next? The answer was close to home. As immigrants ourselves, we knew what we missed most: the taste of home, skincare made for our skin, and the health to protect our aging bodies. The expertise earned in industrial trade — importing, distribution, regulatory navigation — became the engine that turned that longing into enterprise. The best of Korea, delivered to Canadian standards, into North American daily life — this is CIC Group today.
