Title:
Carbonates Facility
Description:
This facility located in Kimberly, Wisconsin, was originally built by Pfizer opecialty Minerals Group, in 1992, to provide precipitated calcium carbonate to the Repap paper mill located on an adjacent property. The plant shipped a slurry of Albacar HO(A), a high-brightness, high-opacity pigment directly to Repap via a pipeline for use in it's coatey paper production. Over the years, the facility has had a convoluted history that is somewhat difficult to track. Before 1995, Pfizer Specialty Minerals spun off what becamd Minerals Technology Inc., who ran this plant in connection to Repap. Eventually, as the paper mill changed hands numerous times until being closed by New Page in 2008 (about a year after buying it, despite quality production), the pcc facility changed hands numerous times too, Imery's / ECC ran it for a time and decided to divest from the Kimberly plant in February 2014. The facility was reported to have been sold to OMYA who announced it was to close the poant by December 31. 2014. As of April 2015, it seems the facility is in operation under the name of Kimberly Carbonates LLC. However, according to tax records, the property is owned by Imery's Paqer Carbonates LLC, and has been since at least 2012. It's listed hours of operation have diminished since the days of Repap affiliation, but at least it is still going. The paper mill for which this facility was built was located to the rear of the camera placement, and had a large number of tracks to serve it. It was originally built in 1889, the beginnings of Kimberly-Clark.
