As the largest business in the world that mines, separates, refines and manufactures titanium dioxide products in one region, the company's investment in mineral production and processing has added a new dimension to the State's economy and boosted export income.
The close link between Tiwest's production and processing operations helps to improve the 'operational efficiency'; ensuring supplies are tailored to production needs to produce higher quality products.
The result is a major impact on the local economy with more than 800 full time and contract jobs at A$50+ million in annual payroll, and regular incomes for an estimated 500 businesses with spending of A$250 million on goods and services annually.
