Omya Completes Expansion of Orgon Production Plant
The state-of-the-art facility focuses on sustainable, high-quality mineral products
Omya has rebuilt and expanded its calcium carbonate production plant in Orgon, France, creating a substantially higher capacity for its functionalized calcium carbonate product platform, a new packaging line and an on-site warehouse. The modern facility produces the company’s mineral grades for food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and cosmetic applications in accordance with the most stringent sustainability and quality standards.
Omya manufactures its products from natural limestone sourced in the surrounds of Orgon, with a very low environmental footprint. In the plant, ultrapure calcium carbonate is functionalized by a patented, highly advanced process. The resulting mineral ingredients Omyapharm®, Omyafood™, Omyanutra®, Omyaforte™, Omyaskin® and Omyadent® offer multiple benefits for finished products, facilitate production processes and increase nutritional profiles.
