The Baalbaki family has been engaged in industry, trade, and agriculture since the late 1800s.

Historically, the family's core businesses were in commodity trading and textiles, primarily focused on the Middle East. In 1958, the family was among the pioneers to offer its textiles business to the public through an initial public offering. During the late 1950s, the family, under license from Linde A.G. and Mauser GmbH, established one of the first factories in the Middle East to produce domestic refrigerators, gas ovens, and steel furniture.

Following the nationalizations in the Arab world in the early 1960s, Dr. Ihsan Baalbaki established the headquarters of Baalbaki Group in Beirut, Lebanon, and formed Linde Middle East in partnership with Linde A.G. of Germany.

The Group's activities in polyurethanes began in the late 1970s with the promotion of polyurethane systems as insulation materials for manufacturers of domestic refrigerators in the Middle East. In the early 1980s, the Group developed spray foam technologies and was awarded the contract to insulate Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, Jordan.

Since the early 1990s, polyurethanes have been one of the Group’s core businesses. Today, BCI is a regional leader in the production and supply of polyester polyols, polyurethane systems, and specialty adhesives, and is globally recognized in the polyurethane industry.

The Group has received several prestigious awards, including the Queen Elizabeth Award for Export, the Norwegian Export Council Award, and the L’Unite Hermetique Golden Medal Award. In 2012, the Group was recognized by Forbes Magazine as one of the top 50 companies in the Middle East making a significant impact.
