Wolkem was established in 1972 in Rajasthan, in the North-West of India, where high quality & extensive Mineral deposits of Wollastonite were discovered. These deposits located in an inaccessible mountainous region with no basic infrastructure like power, water and roads turned into one of the most important Wollastonite deposits worldwide as result of Wolkem’s investments. Likewise, calcite reserves in this area emerged as one of the most important deposits in India. These early hardships forged Wolkem into a company that is today:
- The world’s largest miner and producer of Wollastonite
- India’s leading miner and producer of Calcite (GCC)
- Having operations in 4 countries and 20 mining and processing plants in 6 Indian states
- Produces over 100 mineral grades/products
