FOREWORD
Talented people the key
to sustainable growth...
BY OLIVIER HAUTIN
We are proud to say that we are investing around 50 million
in support of a broad filler clay portfolio from Cornwall.
Our expansion in Rio Capim Caulim (RCC) is producing superior
products for coated papers, including rotogravure grades and
also represents a formidable commitment to our customers.
Changes in the way we refine Capim
TM
, a granulation process
to minimize dust in transport and at customer sites, combined
with the launch of our own `Euro Hub' in Antwerp, are further
proof of long-term thinking.

As Per Svending notes, later in this issue, our rise in carbonates
is unprecedented, but not at the expense of kaolins!
The fruits of funding R & D are evident with continued
evolution of Contour
TM
and Capim
TM
grades.
We are diligent about environmental excellence from mine
sites, processing, transport, customer sites and onward to their
customers and end users.
