Founded in Vienna, Austria in 1976, it is a large-scale multinational enterprise specializing in the research and development, design, production and sales of baby bottles, pacifiers, teethers and other infant products
I was founded by Austrian Peter Röhrig. He is a senior plastics engineer with a wealth of theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the family business, and is a thoughtful and pragmatic thinker.
In the mid-seventies of the twentieth century, the market was flooded with products with a single function: for example, a pacifier, if it looked good, then the product itself was not functional; If the product function meets the medical requirements, the appearance is not so fashionable and beautiful. There are almost no baby products that do both. But the advent of I products has completely changed this phenomenon, as it meets the highest demands of parents and babies.
From the successful sale of the first I pacifier in 1976, I has grown rapidly and steadily to become an international leader in baby products.
Peter Röhrig, the founder of I, once said: "I is not an Austrian company engaged in international trade. We are an international company with Austria at its core. ”
