Effective from Jan. 1, 2022, Safic-Alcan will distribute Imerys’ mineral fillers – including Kaolin, Talc, Carbonates, PCC, Mica, Diatomite, Perlite, Wollastonite – to rubber industries in France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain.

The partners said that Imerys' extensive mineral portfolio provides a one-stop-shop solution for making everyday rubber stronger, lighter, more cost effective and sustainable.

The companies have already had a long-standing and successful partnership in the cosmetics market for several countries.

“This is a new step in our cooperation with Safic-Alcan. With this agreement we will provide our customers with better service as Safic will be their unique contact for all of our products,” said Philippe Reygnier, distribution manager at Imerys.

We are also happy to have a partner well aligned with our commitment for sustainable development and to develop our portfolio with sustainable solutions,” added Philippe Cenreaud, Managing Director Products Performance at Safic-Alcan.
