Cogs turn in CCM market

摘要

Acquisitions in the caustic calcined magnesia (CCM) market and a shifting of suppliers mean that as well as spaces opening up, there may be some potential supply blockages in the future. Of note were the acquisitions by RHI in 2011. The Austria-based company made significant moves to become entirely self sufficient in its dead burned magnesia (DBM) and fused magnesia (FM) production. Firstly it acquired Premier Periclase Ltd (PPL), a seawater magnesia producer of low silica, high density, low iron oxide, large periclase crystal DBM with a 75,000 tpa capacity at Drogheda, Co. Louth, Republic of Ireland.
