THE COMPANY
M a r k e t

The leading worldwide producers of crude perlite are the USA and Greece. In 1998, the combined production of these two countries was estimated to be 1.4Mt, which represents 51% of the total world production.


However Greece does not export processed perlite since the potential market is limited and any expansion is impeded by the disproportionate burden of the transport cost.

In all, more than 95% of the domestic production of perlite is exported. The next largest producing country is China, followed by Turkey, Japan and Hungary.
Global consumption of perlite is expected to rise slowly, but steadily from around 2.2Mt to 2.5 Mt in 2004, representing an average annual rate of growth of 2%py.

Currently, 43% of total world consumption of crude perlite is accounted for by the Americas; predominantly the USA, Mexico and Canada. Western Europe is the next largest consumer with 18% of world consumption. Because of the developing nature of the perlite ore in the industry due to its multiple appliances, the demand for perlite is estimated to grow rapidly in the years to follow.

In 1998, world production of crude perlite was estimated to be between 2.6 - 2.9 Mt, representing an increase of approximately 7 % since 1991. Production in the Pacific Rim countries has contributed to this growth, with Japan showing the greatest increase of 41% from 1991 to 1997. World production is still below capacity however, with the current installed annual world capacity estimated to be between 3.2 - 3.4 Mtpy.
Aegean Perlites SA has a production capacity of 250,000 tones per year (more specifically 1.250 tones per day times 200 days - one shift).

The size of the production is set at this level so the production unit may be flexible and competitive to the existing demand.

The fine quality of the products and their high standards as well as the customer database that the company possess (very large sales network in Europe and the U.S.A.) drives Aegean Perlites to be one of the most competitive players in the market.
