July 4: The Carborundum Universal Ltd (CUMI) has entered into an agreement with
Foskor Ltd, South Africa, to acquire 51 per cent equity stake in Foskor Zirconia
Ltd (FZL).
FZL is the third largest producer of Zirconia in the world with a 4,200 tonne
per annum installed capacity for Zirconia.

address the growing minerals business. The sales of FZL in 2007-08 were $16
million. Foskor was seeking a strategic partner to take FZL to its next phase of
expansion and growth.
