Creating value through Industrial Minerals
Sallies Industrial Minerals is a diversified industrial minerals group that supplies aggregates, dolomite, fluorspar, gypsum, limestone and silica quartz to a variety of markets, mostly in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Our history
With roots in the marketing and distribution of lime and gypsum to the agricultural sector, Sallies Industrial Minerals is today a fully-fledged industrial minerals mining-, marketing- and distribution business.
Since incorporation, the group has expanded its operations to include several mines and industrial minerals production facilities. In 2015 Sallies Limited, a company with a history in gold and industrial minerals mining dating back to 1903, was acquired, giving birth to Sallies Industrial Minerals.
From its head office, the Group provides support services, including sales & marketing and order fulfilment & distribution, to its various operations. The head office is in Stellenbosch, from where the executive team gives strategic guidance.
