ICM built its 100th gas-fired rotary dryer and began manufacturing steam-tube dryers.

Building and installing its first 50 gas-fired dryers took almost 10 years. Correlating with the rapid expansion of the industry (to 4 BGY by the end of 2006), the next 50 dryers were built in less than two years. Dedicated to keeping up with new technology, ICM began building steam-tube dryers as well.
