Founded in 1886, SCM was originally called Smith Brothers, producing typewriters. In 1926, it merged with Corona Typewriter Company and was called Smith-Corona-Marchant. In 1962, it was renamed SCM. In 1986, the British Hanson Trust consortium purchased SCM and established Hanson Industries USA in the United States. After 100 years of development, SCM not only produces typewriters, but also produces a large number of products such as chemical products, food, and paper. It titanium white powder manufacturing operations attributable to SCM Chemicals.
SCM entered the titanium white manufacturing industry in 1967. In 1990, the production capacity of titanium dioxide reached 400,000 tons/year, 70% of which was chlorination. It became the world's third largest titanium white production company, and was called the upstart of the titanium white industry.
The company's rapid development of titanium dioxide production capacity is the main way to buy old titanium dioxide plants at low prices, and to carry out technical transformation and expansion. In 1967, the company purchased Greedon, which produces titanium dioxide pigments in the United States, and obtained 48,000 tons/year of titanium dioxide production capacity. In 1974, it purchased Xuanwei's titanium dioxide in Ashtabula, Ohio, USA. The factory; in 1983, merged with the British Laporte Industrial Company's titanium dioxide factory in the UK and Australia. In the early 1990s, the company had seven titanium dioxide factories in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. The titanium dioxide products produced in the United States have been registered with the old trademark "Zopaque" adopted by the company in the same year (after purchasing the Xuanwei company's titanium dioxide factory in 1974, the company's "Horsehead" trademark was cancelled). Titanium dioxide produced in the UK and Australia is registered under the trademark "Tiona" by the British company Labert Industries. In 1987, SCM Chemicals announced the abolition of the "Zopaque" trademark, which has been used for many years, and the "Tiona" trademark.
In 1998, France's Rhone-Poulenc Titanium Dioxide Factory was acquired by the US-based Merrill Lynch Chemical Company (MIC, formerly known as SCM). The annual production capacity of MIC rose from 473,000 tons before the merger to 690,000 tons, the world ranking also rose from the third to the second.
In 1999, SCM Chemicals reorganized the company (MIC), and its titanium dioxide business was 100% owned by the company.
In 2004, Lyondell Corporation of the United States acquired the titanium dioxide business of Merrill Lynch (MIC). Table 12-2 shows the production capacity of the company's titanium dioxide production facilities located around the world.
