Did you know that Sibelco materials exist in the iconic Sydney Opera House? We supplied the clay materials that were used to create the one meter tiles on the surface of the Opera House buildings. Now there’s even more reason to admire this beautiful venue.
We are pleased to have received a 2018 Green Mining Award from Thailand’s Department of Primary Industries and Mines for the environmental mining standards in place at our plants in Sopprab and Banglen. The awards highlighted useful best practices. Well done to our team in Thailand!
In Northern Italy, our application engineers spend their days pushing the boundaries of material innovation in the field of tile manufacture.

This month Sibelco employees are participating in safe & healthy workplace initiatives, from first aid training sessions and site emergency preparedness workshops to discussions on promoting healthy eating and lifestyle changes. Staff in our Sandvika, Norway office are doing an eLearning course to learn the basics of firefighting and testing their knowledge using VR (virtual reality) goggles to fight an imaginary fire. Congratulations to all employees for working together to make our workplaces safe and your commitment to a culture of zero harm. #SafetyFirst #safeatwork #workplacesafety #sibelcosafetyday18
The team at our Balanagar site in India made Safety Day a family affair on 6 September by including a safety themed drawing contest for our employees’ children. M.Srisailam is right, “Safety is as simple as ABC, Always, Be, Careful!” #SafetyFirst #safeatwork #workplacesafety #sibelcosafetyday18
September is Safety Month at Sibelco, when all employees stop work to participate in Safety & Health workplace initiatives. With a 2018 theme of emergency preparedness, on 6 September, the team at our Bent Farm Sand site in England arranged for Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service to simulate a rope rescue from the top of one of the towers. Congratulations to our employees and thank you to Cheshire Fire and Rescue for working together to make our workplaces safe. #SafetyFirst, #safeatwork, #workplacesafety, #sibelcosafetyday18
In collaboration with the Huella Local Foundation and the Municipality of Lampa in Chile, we are very pleased to have supported the construction of the Plaza de Lipangue, a new recreational space for children and youths. The official name, “Plaza Atardecer de Lipangue” (Sunset Square of Lipangue), was chosen by Máximo Pozo during a local school’s naming contest.

In Australia, we recently supported the Rockhampton Lions Club with a donation towards helping local children with special needs attend 'Circus Quirkus'. Circus Quirkus is an eclectic and entertaining mix of clowns, jugglers and acrobats delivering funny and incredibly skilled performances, and does not use animals in any part of the show. The show took place in Rockhampton on July 7 and with the help of the Lions Club and donations, 2,500 children from Rocky and the greater district attended for a day of fun.
A big thank you to Australian glass artist Thomas Pearson (pictured below left) for the beautiful handmade hourglass, blown and filled with Sibelco materials. Our Communications & PR Officer, Ibn Delaet (pictured below right) had the pleasure of collaborating with Thomas at the GlazenHuis Musuem in Lommel, Belgium where international artists were invited to work together to expand the museum’s collection. You can see Thomas at work in this short video: http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vQmYG Many thanks Thomas & keep up the great work!
