EP Power Minerals

What EP Power Minerals does

EP Power Minerals GmbH is a privately-held German industrial minerals company that processes and markets supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) derived primarily from power plant and steel mill by-products. Founded in 1979 as part of the STEAG group and rebranded under its current name following its mid-2021 acquisition by Czech energy conglomerate EPH (Energetický a průmyslový holding), the company operates three business divisions: Cementitious Materials (fly ash, granulated blast furnace slag, bottom ash, and FGD gypsum), Blasting Abrasives through subsidiary EP Power Grit GmbH, and Waste & Recycling through subsidiary MINERALplus GmbH. Its primary customers are cement manufacturers and concrete producers across Europe, Asia, and North America, with disclosed end-use projects spanning major infrastructure (Hamburg U4 subway extension, Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier, Grimsel dam construction) and joint ventures with power station operators.

The company's core technology centers on the collection, quality-controlled processing, and global distribution of SCMs, supported by internal construction material laboratories, external testing institute monitoring, and compliance with DIN EN 197-1, BS EN 450, and EN 450-1 standards. EP Power Minerals employs a digital twin simulation platform for supply chain what-if analysis and is developing natural pozzolan extraction in Iceland through subsidiary EP Power Minerals Iceland ehf in partnership with LEAG, positioning as an alternative to finite coal-derived fly ash. The company holds ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental), ISO 50001 (energy), and Entsorgungsfachbetrieb certifications, and operates a portfolio of branded products including Bergkament-A, steament W-10, Flugasche RL, TRIAmant, and Wilhament.

Revenue is generated through one-time industrial sales of cementitious materials to cement and concrete manufacturers, supplemented by blasting abrasive sales and industrial waste management services. Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure, and distribution is conducted through wholly-owned subsidiaries (Germany, Poland, UK, Netherlands, France, Czech Republic, Singapore, Vietnam, USA) and regional channel partners using multi-modal logistics spanning rail, ship, and truck. For fiscal year 2024 the company reported €247 million in revenue with 258 employees, and is undergoing a stated strategic shift from a passive fly ash trader to a demand-oriented producer and global marketer of SCMs, anchored by the 20-year Drax JV, the Iceland pozzolan project, and the US market entry via National Minerals Corporation.
