Our bauxites
High quality bauxites are the main raw material for the production of our hydrates and aluminas. At ITAFORTE, we require excellence in the extraction process, meeting the most rigorous industry standards and contributing to sustainable development. Bauxites come from some of the best reserves, such as Minas Gerais and Pará in Brazil, Henan in China and Queensland in Australia. Our bauxite sources ensure maximum efficiency and quality for our products
Our Aluminas and Hydrates
Aluminas are produced with controlled processes capable of guaranteeing the best quality for our customers. Using high purity bauxites from the best mining companies, our aluminas and hydrates stand out for their exceptional stability in chemical and physical parameters. We provide diverse specifications to serve the metal, ceramic and synthetic materials industries in the national and international market.

Our story
We started in 1987 with the production of aluminum silicate for the automotive paint market. Over the years, we have expanded our line of aluminum-based chemicals to serve our customers. In 2005 we introduced Silicon Iron Nitride for refractories, steels and paints resistant to high temperatures
In 2010 we launched the High Alumina Spheres and, in 2012, the Italumina Alumina line for special applications in refractory material. In the following years, we continued to innovate with the launch of hydrate for paints in 2016 and special aluminas for abrasives in 2019. In 2020, we began exporting our products to the Americas and Europe.
In 2021, we introduced Whitelum, an inorganic white pigment based on alumina with a high refractive index capable of replacing titanium dioxide.
We are currently more focused than ever on innovation and expansion with our factories in the Southeast and North of Brazil and Distribution Centers in the South and Southeast. We always seek to meet the needs of our customers with high quality products and cutting-edge technology
Our mission
Provide alumina, derivatives and substitutes differentiated by their technical characteristics, superior performance and competitive costs that reflect high productivity for customers and excellence in resistance to heat, fire, corrosion and wear of their products.
