- Cinkarna Celje d.d. is a Slovenia-based chemical manufacturing company primarily engaged in the production and commercialization of titanium dioxide pigments, specialty chemicals, agrochemicals, and industrial process equipment. Founded in 1873 and headquartered in Celje, Slovenia, the company operates principal production and processing facilities in Celje and Mozirje (PE Kemija Mozirje) and maintains commercial presence through subsidiaries including Cinkarna BH d.o.o. Tuzla. Cinkarna Celje structures its operations across distinct business segments covering titanium dioxide, masterbatches, powder coatings, agricultural chemicals, and chemical processing equipment, primarily serving paint and coating manufacturers, plastics converters, agricultural enterprises, and construction industries across the European Union, Central and Eastern Europe, and global export markets.
The company manufactures and provides a diverse portfolio of chemical products and specialized engineering solutions, comprising sulfate-process rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2) pigments marketed under the RC brand name, including grades RC 813, RC 818, RC 823, and RC 833, utilized in architectural paints, industrial coatings, plastics, printing inks, and paper products; custom-formulated additive and color masterbatches under the CC Master brand for thermoplastic processing, blow moulding, and film extrusion; powder coatings formulated for metal surface finishing and corrosion protection; inorganic industrial chemicals and chemical intermediates, including concentrated and diluted sulphuric acid, titanyl sulphate, metatitanic acid, and sodium titanate; agrochemical formulations, comprising copper-based fungicides, sulphur-based plant protection products, and specialty mineral fertilizers; industrial gypsum by-products, including red gypsum (RCGIPS) and white gypsum (CEGIPS), supplied for cement, construction, and soil conditioning applications; and specialized industrial apparatus services, including anti-corrosion fluoropolymer (PTFE) lining, elastomeric and rubber linings for pressure vessels and pipelines, and the fabrication of industrial valves and chemical equipment.
In recent developments, Cinkarna Celje has executed comprehensive capital expenditure programs directed toward sustainable modernization, decarbonization, and operational resilience across its manufacturing operations, deploying investments into renewable power generation, on-site solar photovoltaic capacity, steam turbine installations, and battery energy storage systems. The company has simultaneously adjusted its commercial and product strategies in response to European Union trade defense measures and anti-dumping tariffs on Chinese titanium dioxide imports, implemented technical debottlenecking and process optimization across its pigment surface-treatment and sulphuric acid recovery units, and maintained active capital management through structured shareholder dividend payouts and share repurchase programs.
