Producers Of Iron Oxide Pigments And Regenerated Iron Oxides In The United States In 2023

Home > Minerals > Iron Oxide Pigments

This table provides a detailed overview of the companies producing iron oxide pigments and regenerated iron oxides within the United States as of 2023, along with their respective plant locations. This data is crucial for understanding the domestic supply chain of iron oxide pigments, which are widely used in industries such as coatings, plastics, construction, and cosmetics. Tracking these producers helps gauge the capacity and geographic distribution of production facilities, which in turn affects market dynamics, pricing, and the availability of these essential materials for various manufacturing sectors.

The data reveals a diverse group of producers spread across multiple states, highlighting a geographically dispersed industry. Notably, Oxerra Americas, Inc., with plants in Augusta, GA; Hiwassee, VA; and Los Angeles, CA, operates multiple facilities, indicating a significant production footprint. Similarly, American Iron Oxide Co., a division of International Steel Services, Inc., maintains three plants in Pennsylvania and Indiana, underscoring its role as a key player in regenerated iron oxides. The presence of companies like New Riverside Ochre Co., Inc., with both crude and finished pigment production in Cartersville, GA, suggests vertical integration within the sector. Overall, the distribution of plants from the Southeast to the Midwest and West Coast reflects the strategic positioning of producers to serve various regional markets efficiently.
