IMERYS
 PROFILE
Once a sculptor of steel, IMERYS now prefers to fashion its work out of clay. Thanks to the company's acquisition of English China Clays, IMERYS (formerly IMETAL) is the world's #1 producer of kaolin, a white clay used to manufacture porcelain, paper, rubber, and textiles. English China Clays is now part of IMERYS' pigments and additives division, one of four divisions in the company. The other divisions make refractories (chemicals that resist high temperatures) and abrasives, ceramics and specialties (graphite and clays), and building materials (clay roof tiles and bricks). Investment firm Pargesa Holding owns nearly 28% of IMERYS.
