Company Profile
Company Overview
Minerals Technologies Inc. (MTI) is a resource- and technology-based company that develops, produces and markets worldwide a broad range of specialty mineral, mineral-based and synthetic mineral products and related systems and services. The Company has four reportable segments: Specialty Minerals, Performance Materials, Refractories and Energy Services.
Company History
The Specialty Minerals (SMI) segment produces and sells the synthetic mineral product precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), mines mineral ores and processes and sells natural mineral products, primarily limestone and talc. This segment's products are used principally in the paper, building materials, paint and coatings, glass, ceramic, polymer, food, automotive and pharmaceutical industries.
The Paper PCC division is the world’s leading producer of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), a specialty pigment for filling and coating high-quality paper. PCC provides brightness, opacity and bulk to paper and is the pigment of choice for papermakers worldwide for paper filling. MTI originated the concept of building “satellite” plants on site at paper mills to produce PCC, which is substituted for more expensive wood fiber and allows papermakers to produce brighter, higher quality paper at lower cost. Today, the company produces the synthesized mineral for more than 30 prestigious papermakers at over 60 paper mills around the globe. As the paper industry recognized the value of PCC, MTI developed more advanced technologies that increased the usage of PCC. These include high-filler technologies and the conversion of mineral-based waste streams from pulp mill operations into usable paper fillers. Today, the Paper PCC business, part of MTI’s Specialty Minerals segment, is also the global leader in both high filler and waste stream conversion to filler technologies serving the paper industry.
