"We are very pleased to have come to an agreement for a satellite PCC plant at a paper mill in Europe, for an established paper company that wished to remain unnamed for competitive reasons," said Robert S. Wetherbee, CEO of Minerals Technologies. "This facility will be our eleventh in Europe to deliver our PCC filling technology, which provides savings to papermakers by replacing higher-cost fiber."
PCC is a specialty pigment for filling and coating high-quality fine papers. In 1986, Minerals Technologies originated the satellite concept for making and delivering PCC on-site at paper mills and the concept was a major factor in revolutionizing papermaking in North America. Today, the company has more than 55 satellite plants in operation or under construction around the world
