 PROFILE
Just because AMCOL sold its superabsorbent polymers business (nearly half of sales) to German chemical company BASF, doesn't mean that it isn't the cat's meow. AMCOL's largest remaining division, minerals (58% of sales), produces bentonite clay products used in cat litter, agricultural feed, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, iron ore production, well drilling, and metal castings. The company also uses bentonite in environmental applications such as sealing landfills, treating oil and heavy metal wastewater and waterproofing non-residential construction sites. AMCOL's minerals and environmental segments operate in Asia, Australia, Europe and North America; the company also operates its own trucking business in the US.
