AB ETIPRODUCTS OY, a subsidiary of Eti Mine Works, a Turkish State owned Company, previously known as Eti Holding AS or Etibank, was established in 1982 in Helsinki, Finland.
Our parent company, which is the Turkey's biggest and oldest mining company, is mainly involved in mining, and metallurgical and chemical industries that are directly connected to its own mining operations. Although it is the producer of many different kinds of minerals and metallurgical and chemical products, it is famous for being the world's leading boron minerals and chemicals producer.

Turkey possesses roughly two thirds of the world's boron minerals reserves and is the largest exporter of these minerals. Borate production is concentrated in the western part of the country (Eskishehir, Balikesir, Kutahya and Bursa).
Turkey's boron operations are under control of Eti Mine Works G.M.(former Eti Holding and Etibank), a state-owned company. As the largest single mining company in the country, Eti Mine Works G.M. has been developing the country's natural resources since its establishment in 1935. Eti Mine Works produces a range of boron minerals and refined products such as colemanite, ulexite, tincal, Etibor-48, borax decahydrate, anhydrous borax.
In 1982, Etibank and the Finnish mining and multimetal Outokumpu group established a joint-venture "Ab Etiproducts Oy" for marketing of Etibank's products on the Scandinavian market. In 1993 Outokumpu's share was transferred to Etimine SA, sister company of Ab Etiproducts Oy, responsible for the marketing of Turkish boron products in western Europe.
Since its establishment Ab Etiproducts Oy has gained a reputation as a reliable and competitive supplier of boron products. The company's marketing exclusivity for Turkish boron products presently covers Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and the other C.I.S. countries.
