Innovation

Luzenac is a resolutely market-focused talc producer. As world leader in our field we are committed to setting the standards for the talc industry in such areas as innovation and product quality.

Every year, Luzenac Group invests a percentage of its turnover in research and development. Fundamental research is carried out in collaboration with universities and research institutes, while our main technical centres in Denver and Toulouse carry out industry-specific R&D and customer formulation work. Smaller formulation laboratories are also located at our production units and at our Asian-Pacific headquarters. Every year, more than two hundred customer formulation studies are carried out in Luzenac's laboratories.

Luzenac's market focus will continue to be towards increasingly specified products requiring intensive research and development such as surface treated talcs, ever finer grinds and new product forms for easier handling.
