Fitz Chem - IMERYS Company Information

IMERYS

A Worldwide Industrial Group

IMERYS is a global corporation who, for over 100 years has been developing better ways to turn mineral resources into high performance minerals.

Originally involved in mining and metallurgy under the name of IMETAL, in 1990, the company acquired major stakes in the white pigments sector: first in kaolin (Dry Branch Kaolin), then in calcium carbonate (Georgia Marble). It also entered the graphite market (Timcal and Stratmin Graphite). Then, in 1999, the acquisition of ECC International combined to make IMETEL a worldwide leader in minerals processing under the new name of IMERYS.

IMERYS consistently provides technical solutions that benefit our customer's businesses. IMERYS supplies a wide range of industries including plastics, paint, rubber, sealants & adhesives, film and building & construction. Imerys also manufacturers Imerys Plus5™ Athletic Field Marker, a high quality ground marble marking powder for use on all types of athletic fields.
