SILKEM, a company with limited liability (L.t.d.) was founded on the basis of 40 years experience in the production of aluminium hydrates and various other special aluminas in Kidričevo, Slovenia. After the production was closed down in the “red section” of the old alumina-producing factory in 1991, we successfully built a new company, Silkem, using our inventiveness and making some adaptations.

In our efforts over 10-years, and the realisation of new strategies, Silkem has developed a specialised production programme for synthetic zeolite, silicates and special aluminas.

A huge turning point in the previous history of our company was achieved in 2001, when we became a member of the ”Mal Group”.

Our strategic connection with this Hungarian partner, which has its own vertically integrated raw materials supply, is Silkem’s basis for additional future developments.

The Mal Group is planning active research and close cooperation with the most important customers in order to widen their important position in the European markets for special alumina products. Silkem will also be able to extend and develop its previous market functions.

Already today, Silkem markets its products throughout more than 40 national markets, partly directly, and partly through closely linked and specialist distribution partners. We have dedicated ourselves to apply our well-known services of flexibility and reliability to enlarged productions of new and innovative products to fully satisfy the quality and technical delivery requirements of our customers.

In the area of quality assurance, we have introduced Standard ISO 9001, and in doing so, have formally confirmed our many years of efforts which we have undertaken to deliver our customers with high quality products.

Our company has 135 well-qualified employees, with whose knowledge and experience we can fulfil customers requirements optimally.
