Founded in 2000 as COFERMIN Rohstoffe the Group today is comprised of six firms with well-established divisions for chrome, chemicals a. o. With EUR 130 million turnover generated by 55 core staff, COFERMIN is one of the world’s leading specialty industrial mineral and chemical distributors and agents.
