Recent Developments
• In November 2019, Imerys S.A. acquired some assets of the EDK company, a leading producer of ground calcium carbonates (GCC) in Brazil. These assets include three operating plants and 100 employees, which generated annual revenues of USD 15.5 million in 2018.
• In June 2019, Minerals Technologies Inc. installed and deployed a new ENVIROFIL PCC technology, a new, innovative recycling technology that allows papermakers to recover mineral pigments from the deinking residue by converting these raw materials, at UPM-Kymmene Corporation’s paper mill in Schongau, Germany. This process has proven to substantially improve waste paper yield, mitigating solid waste disposal costs, and reducing the environmental impact of the deinking process.
• In November 2018, Omya AG introduced a new functionalized calcium carbonate for use in biopolymers under the brand name, Omya Smartfill 55– OM. The new calcium carbonate is used particularly as filler material for polylactic acid (PLA) as this does not demonstrate almost any hydrolysis when processed at filler loads of up to 40%.
• In November 2018, Nordkalk Corporation increased its production capacity of limestone in Turkey. The new crushing plant increases the annual production capacity to 2.5 million tons of limestone, offered in several fractions. In addition to capacity increase, the plant enhances the health and safety conditions and impact of production on the environment.
