Minerals Technologies Inc. (NYSE: MTX) announced on October 20, 2025 that it is investing in its Uşak City, Turkey plant to support the expansion of its Rafinol line of adsorbents and bleaching earth used for natural oil purification. The Uşak facility is dedicated to mining and manufacturing the materials that clean renewable fuels and edible oils.
The Rafinol line serves the $1.1 billion global natural oil purification market, where renewable fuels account for 12% of total sales and represent the fastest‑growing segment. Rafinol’s advanced adsorption technology is the leading solution for removing impurities from biodiesel, renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel, and other vegetable‑oil‑derived fuels.
By adding capacity at Uşak, MTX aims to meet the strong, ongoing demand in this high‑margin consumer‑oriented market and to reinforce its strategic pivot toward higher‑growth, higher‑margin businesses. The investment is expected to drive revenue and margin expansion in the coming years.
"Our investment in natural oil purification is one of several long‑term, sustainable growth drivers for our company and in line with our continued expansion into higher‑growth, consumer‑oriented markets," said Douglas T. Dietrich, MTX Chairman and CEO. "It is also a clear example of MTX’s ability to apply our core technologies to our mineral reserves to solve complex customer problems.”
