Core offering

Adaçal Endüstriyel Mineraller mines and processes calcium carbonate-based industrial minerals from its own licensed quarries in Emirdağ, Afyonkarahisar, producing Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (adaCAL brand), quicklime and hydrated lime, ground calcite, natural marble, and limestone aggregate for industrial manufacturers. Products are sold in bulk (silobas/dorse), kraft bags, PP bags, and big-bags to paper, plastic, paint, chemical, pharmaceutical, food, water treatment, steel, environmental, and construction customers. The company also operates a TÜBİTAK- and Ministry of Industry-funded laboratory offering analytical testing (zeta potential, rheology, SEM, laser particle sizing, color/whiteness) and sector-specific technical support through Paint, Plastic, Paper, and Chemical working groups.

Product overview

Adaçal Endüstriyel Mineraller is an industrial minerals company operating since 2000, offering an integrated portfolio of calcium carbonate-based products. The core offerings include PCC (Precipitated Calcium Carbonate) for paper, plastic, paint and chemical industries; industrial lime (kireç) for water treatment, steel, construction and agriculture; calcite (kalsit) as filler material; marble (mermer) from licensed quarries; and aggregate (agrega) for construction applications. The company also provides laboratory testing services including particle analysis, rheology, and SEM imaging. All products are derived from company-owned limestone mines and processed through modern facilities with SCADA-controlled production systems.

Brands

• adaCAL: Product brand name used for PCC (Precipitated Calcium Carbonate) products marketed by Adaçal Endüstriyel Mineraller for use in paper, plastic, paint, chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries.

Products and services

• adaCAL PCC (Precipitated Calcium Carbonate) Synthetic calcium carbonate produced by chemical precipitation with controlled particle shape, size, and distribution; marketed under the adaCAL brand for paper, plastic, paint, chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic manufacturers seeking improved impact resistance, brightness, opacity, and processability versus ground calcium carbonate.
• Kireç (Industrial Lime) Industrial lime produced in circular cross-section, parallel flow, double-shaft regenerative kilns with SCADA process control, offered as quicklime and hydrated lime with low impurities, high reactivity, high whiteness, and active calcium oxide; available in micronized grinding and separator output forms for water treatment, steel, environmental, construction, and agricultural applications.
• Kalsit (Ground Calcite) Calcium carbonate ore ground in ball mills to customer-specified fineness, supplied as Naturel (uncoated) and Kaplanmış (coated) powders for use as filler across industrial sectors.
• Mermer (Natural Marble) Natural marble varieties including Isaura Spider Beige and Isaura Nature Beige, sourced from Kommersan's Konya quarry and processed by Adaçal in various dimensions and surface treatments for architectural and interior design applications.
• Agrega (Limestone Aggregate) Limestone aggregate produced from Adaçal's own licensed mining fields, certified to TS 706 EN 12620, with verified 55.16% CaO content, hardness, durability, and abrasion resistance; supplied in multiple sizes for concrete, asphalt, road construction, foundations, precast, and drainage applications.
• Laboratuvar Hizmetleri (Industrial Minerals Laboratory Services) Analytical and testing services operated through TÜBİTAK Teydep and Ministry of Industry-sanctioned laboratory facilities, organized into Paint, Plastic, Paper, and Chemical working groups collaborating with universities; services include zeta potential measurement, rheology/viscosity determination, density measurement, SEM imaging, color/whiteness measurement, and laser particle size measurement.

Broad incumbents

• Omya: Swiss global producer of calcium carbonates (both GCC and PCC) and specialty fillers, with extensive production and distribution in Europe, Americas, and Asia-Pacific. Direct overlap with Adaçal in paper, paint, plastics, and pharma-grade calcium carbonate applications.
• Imerys: French multinational and global leader in mineral-based specialty solutions including precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), ground calcium carbonate, and a broad industrial minerals portfolio. Competes with Adaçal in PCC for paper, paint, and plastics but operates at vastly greater scale across dozens of countries.
• Carmeuse: Belgian-headquartered global leader in lime and limestone products serving steel, environmental (FGD/water treatment), construction, and industrial markets. Directly competes with Adaçal's lime (kireç) product line, particularly in steel and water treatment applications.
• Lhoist Group: Belgian family-owned global lime and mineral solutions group serving environmental, metallurgy, construction, and agriculture. Directly comparable to Adaçal in industrial lime, quicklime, and hydrated lime segments with a similar vertical mining-to-lime model.
• Sibelco: Belgian global material solutions company producing industrial minerals including calcium carbonate, silica, feldspars, and other specialty minerals. Overlaps with Adaçal's calcite and calcium carbonate filler products for industrial applications.

Direct peers

• Minerals Technologies Inc. US-based specialty minerals company and one of the world's largest producers of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) for the paper industry, along with lime and other mineral products. Closest direct competitor to Adaçal in industrial-scale PCC manufacturing technology.
• Calcit (Calcit d.o.o.): Slovenian calcium carbonate specialist producing ground calcium carbonate (GCC), coated calcite, and limestone products for paper, paint, plastics, and other industrial uses. Closely matches Adaçal's product portfolio, vertical mining-to-finished-goods model, and mid-sized European competitor profile.

Others

• Kommersan: Turkish natural stone (marble) supplier from Konya whose marble (Isaura Spider Beige) is sourced and distributed by Adaçal. Acts as upstream raw material supplier to Adaçal's marble line, illustrating vertical coordination rather than direct competition.

Regional players

• Schaefer Kalk: German mid-sized lime and limestone producer with vertically integrated quarry and kiln operations. Directly comparable to Adaçal in product range (quicklime, hydrated lime, ground limestone) and European-focused industrial customer base.
• Nordkalk: Finnish-based limestone and industrial minerals producer (part of Rettig Group) operating primarily in Northern and Eastern Europe. Comparable to Adaçal in limestone-derived products including lime, calcite, and aggregates, though focused on Nordic/Baltic markets.
