Active Minerals International Plants Are Fully Operational
SPARKS, MD — Active Minerals International (AMI), the world’s largest supplier of high-quality gel-grade attapulgite and air-floated kaolins for tape joint compounds, paint, asphalt roof coatings and other industries, resumed full plant operations on Sept. 13 to meet the supply, service and quality needs of its customers following Hurricane Irma. The company’s three manufacturing plants are located over a 300-mile area spanning Florida, Georgia and South Carolina — all in the path of the historic storm.
Active Minerals’ strategic planning combined with Irma’s weakening strength, as it traveled across all of AMI’s mining and mineral processing operations, contributed to AMI’s prompt return to full functionality once public utilities restored electric power.
