The company was founded in 1981. After the last adjustment, the core activity of the company is mining. The current number of employees is 20.
Mineral resources are exploited in the Parsovići deposit, Konjic municipality. The basic raw material is purple, gray and white pyrophyllite shale, from which micronized pyrophyllite is obtained by technological processes.
Geological research and mining works at the site, as well as chemical and other tests of ore quality show that the narrow location contains large reserves of quality ore, unique in the world.
Mineral research is carried out in renowned institutions from BiH and the surrounding area, of which we would single out: Universities of Salerno (Italy), Sorbonne (France), Istanbul (Turkey), Krakow (Poland), Belgrade (Serbia), Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Tuzla and Mostar (BiH), and the Slovak Academy of Sciences Košice, Institute for Technology of Nuclear and Other Mineral Raw Materials-ITNMS (Serbia), Institute of Nuclear Sciences Vična (Serbia), Institute of Physics (Serbia), Institute of Soil (Serbia), Institute for Pesticides and Environmental Protection (Serbia), Institute for Applied Science in Agriculture (Serbia), Ruđer Bošković Institute (Croatia), Institute of Metrology (BiH), Institute for Agriculture Sarajevo, Federal Institute for Agropedology Sarajevo and many others.
