We own one of the world's largest rutile (titanium dioxide) deposits at Engebøfjellet in Naustdal municipality.
Rutile is a highly demanded mineral with current applications i.e. in pigment production and production of titanium metal. Application areas for rutile are steadily expanded within environmental technology ("green-tech"), transport, health and medicine, as well as various consumer products. The market development and outlook for rutile are positive.
In May 2011, the municipality board in Naustdal municipality approved the industrial area plan in connection with our contemplated rutile production at Engebøfjellet. The positive resolution in the municipality is an important step towards production and processing of rutile products in Naustdal.
The contemplated rutile production at Engebø will have approximately 170 employees. In addition, the project will contribute to considerable regional economic activity in industry and service sectors.
