ICC (Images, Cadeaux et Cartes) was founded in 1987 as a sole proprietorship and converted into a public limited company in 1992. The then company owner Markus Bucher also founded a sister company in 1998, which was given the company name art & FUN GmbH. Due to a similar product portfolio, Andreas Kümin decided to buy these two companies in 2016 and merge them with his existing PENTA VERTRIEBS AG.
