Eramet Titanium & Iron is a pig iron and titanium dioxide clinker plant in Tyssedal, Norway. It benefits from ores local to Norway which have almost a 50% TiO2 fraction.[1]
History
editThe plant was established as Ilmenittsmelteverket on 21 December 1983 as a replacement after Det Norske Nitridaktieselskap closed its aluminum plant in Tyssedal. Production commenced in 1986. In 1988 it was bought by Tinfos Jernverk and renamed Tinfos Titan & Iron.[2]
In 2008 Tinfos was bought by Eramet, giving the plant its current name.
