TZ Pigments International
In July 2006 a subsidiary of TZMI - TZ Pigments International Pty Ltd (TZPI) was formed to manage the growth of the company’s consulting activities in the global titanium dioxide pigment industry.
TZMI and TZPI operate from the same offices in Perth and share data, administration and publication services. TZPI also has representative offices in China, South Africa and The Netherlands.
The strength of the combined consulting services stems from TZPI's extensive practical experience in the TiO2 minerals and pigment industries. The company also have access to a wide range of consultants with proven expertise gained from many years of experience in the industry. Many and varied consulting assignments enable TZPI to maintain an active dialogue with existing and potential participants in the industry so that its consulting personnel, for both TZMI and TZPI are kept fully aware of new developments.
TZPI has completed a number of confidential assignments that focus in detail on aspects of the TiO2 pigment industry, including technical bench-marking, project feasibility studies, analyses of pigment production costs and the markets for specific pigment grades. |
