Trimex Group

Founded in 1985 by Prasad Koneru, a mainstay of the minerals business since 1973, Trimex Group was launched to fill the demand supply gap for quality industrial minerals to the oil drilling industry. A noted visionary, Mr Prasad’s organisation has since grown into a leading minerals and metals conglomerate with interests in all areas of the minerals supply chain, from mining and logistics to processing and research & development.

Located in UAE and India, the group has grown in assets and market capitalisation several times over within the past decade. Trimex’s outstanding success is the result of strategic diversification through forward and backward integration, which looks at all aspects of the mineral value chain.

Trimex Group today is one of the region’s largest mineral and metal conglomerate. The company prospects, mines, sources, processes and delivers minerals and metals to the world’s leading oil drilling, ceramic, glass, construction, energy and fertilizer industries.
