history

Morgan Mineração Indústria e Comércio Ltda.

We started our activities in 1947. With the knowledge and experience acquired over the years, combined with the market and new demands, we are in constant evolution, developing people, improving and innovating processes and products. With a standard of professional excellence, technology and quality products, we are leaders in the national market in the commercialization of 100% natural iron oxide and hydroxide pigments.

We serve large companies in Brazil and abroad in various business segments, such as Biogas, natural gas, water treatment, sewage and industrial effluents, oil and gas, civil construction, foundry, agriculture, fertilizers, veterinary, glass and rubber.

We are present in a fundamental sector, which is the environmental solutions, where our products are raw materials in compound formulations for water and sewage treatments and H2S adsorbers for the treatment of petroleum natural gas and biogas.

Throughout our trajectory, we have followed the same goal: to act by generating value with environmental, economic and social responsibility!
