50 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE…
CONTROL OF THE ENTIRE VALUE CHAIN
TIMAB Magnesium has been a player in the industry since the 70s.
The company has direct access to the raw material, with its integrated mines in Spain and Brazil.
Our activity as a producer is complemented by exclusive partnerships, in order to have access to different sources of mining or marine origin, allowing us to address all of our customers’ problems.
These major assets are at the origin of our expertise, based on an in-depth study of the material, and its benefits. This knowledge, both advanced and extensive, allows us to measure the full potential of magnesium.
A REAL INNOVATION POLICY
Our position as an expert leads us to develop innovative products to effectively respond to the production problems encountered by our customers.
We develop the products of tomorrow through the use of considerable resources. To this end, each of our three areas of application has its own R&D team. In total, there are 25 people dedicated to innovation within our teams!
At the same time, these teams can base their research on the scientific, technical and human resources of the Roullier Group; as well as on the various partnerships set up: universities, INRA, Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Rennes, etc.
By creating a real centre of expertise around magnesia and its derivatives, TIMAB Magnesium has forged a leading position in the sector. Its mission: To reveal the potential of Magnesium!
