Magnesium do Brasil

What Magnesium do Brasil does

Magnesium do Brasil is the Brazilian mining and production subsidiary of Terresis, a Saint-Malo, France-headquartered magnesium specialist that operates as the magnesia division of privately-held Groupe Roullier. The company extracts magnesia from four owned mines in Brazil and Spain and processes it into a portfolio of branded, value-added magnesium products organized into four divisions: Terresis Agriculture (crop nutrition and animal feeding products such as pHix-up, CAPMAG ZN, Gastrimag, TIMFOLIUP, SUNFORTIS, CR-MAG), Terresis Magna (refractory masses and application equipment for the steel industry covering lining, projection and continuous casting), Terresis Industrial Minerals (XP MAG, Geocrete, XLcure for chemical, life-sciences, cement and construction sectors), and Terresis Environment (MH53S for water treatment and environmental remediation). The underlying technology is magnesia extraction and chemical transformation from owned mineral reserves, with proprietary formulations developed through more than 50 years of specialized R&D supported by Groupe Roullier.

The business model is B2B enterprise sales of industrial minerals to customers in agriculture, steel/refractory, chemicals/construction and environmental end-markets. Revenue is generated through direct sales by in-house technical and commercial experts, with products tailored to customer specifications and pricing structured around volume, grade and application requirements. Distribution is direct-to-customer across 70 countries, supported by six production sites and eight offices. The company controls the entire value chain from mine to finished product, which it positions as the basis for quality assurance, supply reliability and intersectoral product development. Approximately 960 employees work across mining, processing and commercial operations globally.

Magnesium do Brasil's specific role within the group is the Brazilian mining and production platform that supplies raw magnesia to Terresis's downstream value-added product lines. As a wholly-owned operating subsidiary within a diversified French conglomerate, Magnesium do Brasil benefits from centralized R&D, capital backing and international commercial reach, while contributing raw-material security and processing capacity to the parent group's vertically integrated magnesium strategy.

Emerging players

• MagMinerals: Niche European producer of high-purity magnesium oxide and hydroxide serving food, pharma, and industrial markets. Comparable as a focused magnesia specialist, though smaller and with different end-market mix than Magnesium do Brasil.

Regional players

• Haicheng Magnesite: Chinese magnesite mining and magnesia products supplier based in the Liaoning magnesite belt. Comparable as a magnesia miner and processor, but operating primarily in Asia rather than competing directly in Magnesium do Brasil's core geographies.

Direct peers

• Premier Magnesia: US-based producer of magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide products serving agriculture, industrial, and environmental markets. Comparable as a magnesia specialist with similar product categories to Magnesium do Brasil's industrial minerals and environment divisions.
• Grecian Magnesite: Greek producer of magnesia-based refractory and industrial products, mining magnesite and serving steel, agriculture, and environmental applications. Directly comparable as a specialty magnesia miner with multi-vertical downstream exposure.
• Magnesita Refratários: Brazil-based magnesia and refractory producer, now part of RHI Magnesita. Most directly comparable geographically and operationally — both mine magnesite in Brazil and supply refractory products to steelmakers across Latin America and globally.
