What 2b s r l does

2B Minerals S.r.l. is an Italian private limited company (Società a responsabilità limitata) founded in 2009 and headquartered in Campogalliano (Modena), Italy. The company manufactures and distributes micronized mineral fillers and additives for industrial customers that produce blends, compounds, and composites. Its product portfolio spans activated zeolites (4A, 3A, 5A, 13X, and blends), calcined kaolins, micronized quartz, micronized nepheline, aluminium trihydroxide (ATH) flame-retardant fillers, wollastonite (including acicular high aspect-ratio grades), calcined alumina, zirconium silicate and zircon products, and micronized feldspar, with secondary offerings including tabular alumina, kaolinite, corundum, chromite, magnesium hydroxide, mica, spinel, talc, zinc oxide, boehmite, pyrogenic silica, titanium dioxide, inorganic pigments, stearates, odor absorbers, and precipitated calcium carbonate. Each product family is offered in multiple controlled particle-size grades to match customer-specific granulometry requirements.

Core processing capabilities — grinding, particle-size separation, and laboratory analysis of finished product — are accessed through affiliated company ZABO S.r.l. at the Campogalliano site. The company operates 3,000 square metres of covered indoor storage across its Viale Europa 81 headquarters and the newer Via Nuova 11 facility, on a combined 16,000 square metre yard. The registered share capital is €10,000.

2B Minerals monetizes through one-off sales of mineral additives to industrial compounders and blenders, primarily in Italy with cross-border partner relationships (Quimialmel, Silkem, 20 Microns). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows a contact-based quotation model. Go-to-market relies on direct B2B field sales supported by a bilingual Italian/English website and trade show participation (e.g., PLAST 2023). Listed collaborating companies include Italian, Slovenian, and Indian specialty minerals players, suggesting selective international supplier or distribution ties. The company positions itself on 'Made in Italy' manufacturing, formulation customisation, consistent quality, and reliable supply.
