The company now has 18 agreements with paper mills that have adopted the unique FulFill E-325 technology introduced in late 2010. The technology provides papermakers significant cost savings in reduced fiber consumption by allowing papermakers to increase loading levels of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), which replaces higher cost pulp, and increases PCC usage.

"Our FulFill technology continues to gain acceptance across the worldwide paper industry," said Joseph C. Muscari, chairman and chief executive officer. "We are extremely pleased that another paper company has elected to deploy our technology, which is a further verification of its broad-based effectiveness. Minerals Technologies now has commercial agreements with papermakers in Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America and South Africa and are actively engaged with an additional 20 paper mills worldwide. We will continue our commitment to advance our technological leadership with papermakers around the globe."
