For over 35 years Volclay International Pty Ltd have been breaking new
ground throughout the Australian bentonite and minerals supply
industry. Through a continuous program of expansion and development
the company commands a leading market position with well-respected
products, technology and people.
This success is underpinned by the strength of its parent company.
AMCOL International
Corporation, who through its subsidiary ACC
is one of the world's largest and longest established bentonite
and clay mineral concerns.
Volclay International Pty Ltd products and service offer solutions to
many different needs and are employed in many diverse and often
contrasting applications. These range from foundries to cosmetics,
from construction to wine clarification and from cat litter to
environmental services.
Volclay International Pty Ltd has extensive processing and storage facilities
providing excellent product flexibility and service response.
Activities are centred at Geelong Victoria where, with immediate
access to deep water ports, we command a truly global capability
for both the import of quality raw material and the export of
finished goods.
Volclay International Pty Ltd own and operate a sodium bentonite mine at Miles in QLD, about 375km North West of Brisbane. Since purchasing the site in June 2006, Volclay has invested a lot of money and effort into developing not only the resource but also upgrading the plant.
From this site we supply a broad range of markets including drilling, construction/civil, foundry, cat litter, stock feed, dam sealing plus many other niche markets. The relatively low average annual rainfall in the Miles area means we are able to successfully sun dry the bentonite on site and then process and package as required. We are able to supply our many products on either an FIS or ex works basis. For added convenience we also have a depot in Brisbane in which customers can source their product if required.
To ensure you receive your order of high quality bentonite on time and in perfect condition we have teamed up with a local fright company who also pride themselves on their reputation for great service and flexibility. In addition to the domestic market we also export our products and are able to supply on a CIF basis into all major ports around the world. This means you, the customer, don’t have to spend precious time arranging logistics and can focus on what you do best. All you need to do is place an order and we look after the rest.
Our objectives are to provide the best products and service;
to partner users in achieving the optimum performance and benefits
from our activities; to anticipate or respond to new and changing
market needs and then to improve on standards already achieved.
Quality is fundamental to this philosophy in all aspects of Volclay's
activities. Formal systems are employed to assure product quality
and business performance against continually improving standards.
Volclay International Pty Ltd is ISO 9002 registered.
We also offer extensive technical expertise and service through
a team of qualified staff and distributors who are available to
provide on site assistance and advice as to customer problems
and the optimum use of our products. This is augmented by our
own dedicated technical centre which provides in-house laboratory
services, and constantly pursues product improvement and development.

AMCOL International, Volclay International Pty. Ltd. is subject
