TATE, GA -- Imerys, a worldwide leader in mineral processing, and Polycor, the second largest and most diversified supplier of structural dimension stone in North America, announce the sale of Imerys’ dimension stone business to Polycor, a Canada-based group with headquarters in Quebec City. The transaction was finalized on August 5, 2003.
Imerys, previous owner of Georgia Marble, restructured its Dimension Stone Division -- Specialty Minerals Business Group -- earlier this year, which included the closure of its Nelson, GA, facility, the sale of its Central Granite facility in Elberton, GA, and the closure of a portion of its Tate, GA, facility.
