J M Huber sells kaolin business

IMin Partners has purchased the kaolin business of Huber Engineered Materials and renamed the company KaMin LLC. The company supplies kaolin products for a number of applications, including plastics, and will be headquartered in Macon, Georgia in the USA.

“We are excited about the purchase of KaMin LLC and the opportunities and challenges facing the kaolin industry,” says Tom Chambers, partner and co-founder of IMin Partners. “The high quality products and outstanding service Huber’s kaolin customers have come to expect will continue unchanged at KaMin LLC.”

IMin Partners, headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, is a private equity capital fund dedicated to investing in speciality minerals and chemical businesses. The company says that the new name for the company was selected from more than 200 submissions by Huber’s kaolin employees, and reflects the new company’s commitment to its kaolin customers and its strong support from IMin Partners.
