Dr Shane Porzio has spent more than five years in his role as vice president of global business management for kaolin for BASF, during which time he has seen the company focus its efforts on industrial and calcined kaolin since divesting its paper hydrous kaolin (PHK) division to Imerys. BASF’s kaolin division covers around 38,000 acres of land in Georgia, in the United States, where the company operates four processing sites, three manufacturing sites and three mining operations. BASF increased its prices by 7% across all products on December 15, 2017, and this will probably combine with the asset optimization outlined in the company’s 10-year investment plan to reposition the kaolin business as an income-generating segment in the long term.
