Mineral & Pigment Solutions company history timeline

1884

​​Omya's roots date back to 1884 when the company was founded by Gottfried Plüss-Staufer in Oftringen, Switzerland.

1894

After completion of the Oftringen plant in 1894, the business expanded quickly.

These successes led Plüss-Staufer to acquire a second chalk quarry at Omey, France in 1894.

1900

A chalk plant was built at the port of Omey in 1900.

In late 2009, Tronox terminated this deal.

Tronox emerged from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy on February 14, 2011.
