TIMELINE

GRUPO IC has been working for more than 30 years for international clients, accompanying them in their expansion, adapting to the needs of each of them and creating specialized work teams in each of the sectors and countries in which we operate.

1992

We started accompanying French retail brands such as Promod, Yves Rocher and Celio in their expansion throughout Spain. We have since delivered more than 200 stores for these three firms.

1994

We started expanding into other sectors:

  • We delivered 30 locations for the Bocatta restaurant chain.
  • VisionLab relied on us to support their expansion, executing approximately 100 stores across the Spanish territory.

1996

North American brands such as Disney, Burger King, Nike and Sunglass Hut trusted us to accompany them in their expansion.

We also strengthened our presence in the restaurant sector and delivered more than 30 restaurants for McDonald’s in 6 years.

1998

The cosmetics and perfume chain Sephora made its entry into Spain. Once more, we were entrusted with facilitating this new client’s expansion within our borders, successfully delivering its first store nationally.

Among the most emblematic stores we have delivered for Sephora is the Flagship store located in Barcelona’s El Triangle shopping center.

The Sephora perfumery chain arrived in Spain and we were in charge of accompanying them in their expansion. One of the most emblematic works carried out for Sephora was their flagship store located in C.C. Le Triangle (Barcelona), which we refurbished almost 20 years later, in 2017.

2000

The Swedish retail chain H&M arrives in Spain, and IC was chosen as one of the construction companies to support its growth in the country, completing up to 26 stores in just over 4 years.
Alongside the Swedish brand H&M, several French brands continue to place their trust in us for their expansion in Spain, including Okaidi, Naf Naf, Orchestra, Camaieu, Okaïdi, among others.

We started working with Massimo Dutti and Stradivarius, and we’re honored to continue supporting their expansion. To date, we have delivered approximately 200 stores for each of these two brands.

During that time, in addition to retail, luxury and restaurant projects, we also participated in other emblematic and unique projects. To highlight a few, we delivered works for the Hilton Hotel in Valencia and the Eme Hotel in Sevilla, both 5-star hotels.
