| Imerys Accelerates the implementation of its muti pigments growth strategy On May 26, 2000 Imerys signed an agreement with the US group Praxair for the acquisition of 100% of Quimbarra, the leading South American producer of ground (GCC) and precipitated (PCC) calcium carbonate. Quimbarra owns 15 plants in Latin America (7 in Brazil, 5 in Argentina, 3 in Mexico) and high-quality minerals reserves. Quimbarra sales amount to 220,000 tonnes of PCC and 150,000 tonnes of GCC, representing global sales of approximately €55 million. This operation, in markets with high structural growth, is in line with Imerys' development strategy in Pigments & Additives. |
