Drag

Drag in Northern Norway is a beautiful location, but could be considered an unusual location for a high purity quartz purification and processing plant. Our plant has a special history in Northern Norway, however.  The plant was built and opened in 1987. Later, Norwegian Crystallites, who have more than 60 years of experience in the minerals processing industry, took over the plant, leading to our JV position today.  

Drawing on this expertise and investing in state-of-the-art technology has allowed us to create the world’s most high tech quartz processing plant in this location.  More than $35 million has been invested in our purification plant in recent years, enabling us to increase capacity and improve product consistency.
