OUR APPROACH

We invest in and grow companies that are largely business-to-business operations. Where the group can offer differentiated expertise it will provide services, but it is otherwise focused on manufacturing, developing and distributing industrial mineral products that are beyond commodities and have independent intellectual property as brand identity.

Erakis provides centralised support services to its subsidiaries, including Finance, Administration, IT, Supply Chain, HR services, Health & Safety, Environmental and Compliance, Asset Performance, Quality and Continuous Improvement (LEAN).

Our purpose is to create value for all stakeholders through our experience, expertise and excellence.
