Profile

KÜMAŞ Magnesite Inc. was established as a publicly listed company in 1972. Its founding purpose was to improve the Turkish economy through mining of magnesite ore  in the Kütahya-Eskişehir-Bilecik triangle and adding value through the production of sinter magnesia, basic refractory brick and mortars. A primary objective being to decrease the dependency of Turkish industrial sectors such as iron, steel and cement on imports and initiate export into these business sectors.  KÜMAŞ has grown swiftly from its beginnings, with production of sinter magnesia  in 1976, through  a newly established brick plant  in 1990 and fused magnesia production in 1990.

Today, KÜMAŞ produces and supplies sinter magnesia, fused magnesia, fused oxychrom and calcined magnesia. These products  are derived from high quality macrocrystalline natural magnesite ore for supply into the industrial minerals market. In addition KÜMAS produces magnesia, doloma and alumina based refractory brick and mortars in its integrated refractory plant.
