PUTTING THE WHEELS OF CHANGE IN MOTION



For over 250 years, some of the worlds' highest quality china clay has been mined from Imerys’ mid Cornwall operations, near St Austell, Cornwall.


Imerys’ Cornish china clays goes into the worldwide market used in paper fillers, ceramics, both sanitaryware and tableware and specialities, including paints, rubber, plastics and pharmaceuticals. Approximately one million tonnes of china clay are mined annually from these operations with over 85% being exported.


With the clay deposits first discovered in 1746, the once highly labour intensive extraction process has recently ‘got its skates on’ with the arrival of a new Caterpillar 390D fleet of three large excavators, complete with their own set of E90 Sleipner units.
