Fluorsid Group controls Fluorsid SpA, the world’s largest producer of inorganic fluorochemicals for the aluminum industry. The company was established in 1969 in Cagliari (island of Sardinia, Italy) and its plant has an annual capacity of about 120’000 metric tons of aluminum fluoride and synthetic cryolite, as well as 320’000 metric tons of sulfuric acid.
In turn, Fluorsid SpA controls Noralf AS, the European leading supplier of aluminum fluoride and British Fluorspar Ltd, a strategic mining company of fluorite, barite and lead.
Mimeta SA, the group’s trading entity, controls Active Metals Ltd, a company leader in the titanium and magnesium powders and has a majority share of SFM SA, a Swiss company specialized in the production of magnesium powders and raspings. SFM SA is the main shareholder of the Russian company SEMP which operates in the same industry.
Fluorsid Group also controls ICIB Srl, the main Italian supplier of hydrofluoric acid in solution and Alkeemia SpA the European leading producer of hydrofluoric acid and calcium sulfate. Moreover, it owns a minority share in LaminazioneSottile SpA, a leading company producing semi-finished rolled aluminum products.
In 2014 the Fluorsid Group purchased Cagliari Calcio Football Team. A choice that expresses the intimate link between Sardinia and the company’s history.
Last but not least, Mimeta SA is a 50% shareholder of Simplis Logistics WLL, the remaining 50% being held by ProSolve Limited.
