About IMERYS

Imerys is a leading French industrial group specializing in mineral-based specialty solutions. The company converts a broad range of minerals into high value-added products used across industries such as construction, ceramics, refractories, abrasives, consumer goods, health and beauty, packaging, food applications, and energy-transition-related uses. According to recent company disclosures, Imerys generated about €3.6 billion of revenue in 2024 and employed 12,400 people across 40 countries, operating more than 200 industrial sites worldwide. The group has deep roots in mining and metallurgy. Until 1999, it operated under the name Imetal, itself formed from the combination of activities linked to Minière et Métallurgique de Peñarroya and Société Le Nickel. The rebranding to Imerys at the turn of the millennium reflected a strategic shift toward industrial minerals and specialty materials. Over time, this focus enabled the company to build a global leadership position in mineral specialties, supported by long-standing expertise in geology, extraction, mineral processing, and industrial development. Imerys’ portfolio is centered on functional mineral solutions that provide essential properties to customers’ finished products, including opacity, mechanical strength, thermal resistance, light weighting, durability, and process performance. The company emphasizes material science, application know-how, and process engineering as key differentiators. Its international technology center in Lyon, together with nearly 2,500 patents and 4,000 registered trademarks, highlights the importance of innovation in its business model. Imerys serves demanding niche markets where product performance and technical support matter, which helps strengthen customer relationships and market positioning. Geographically, Imerys has a broad international footprint spanning Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific and other industrial regions. In France, the company operates more than 30 sites, roughly two-thirds of them quarry-based, underscoring its historical industrial presence in the country. Its exposure to fast-growing segments includes electric vehicles, sustainable construction, and solutions supporting decarbonization and industrial transition. The EMILI lithium project in France is a notable example of this strategy, as it aims to contribute to the European energy transition and supply-chain sovereignty. Beyond its operational scale, Imerys also highlights environmental stewardship, biodiversity protection, and responsible product management as core priorities. This combination of global reach, technical expertise, innovation capacity, and exposure to structurally attractive end markets makes Imerys a key listed materials company on the Paris market.
