AIM works closely with VMPC Business Joint Stock Company (VMPC), one of the larger miners and processers of exceptional high quality white marble/limestones within South East Asia.

The interests of VMPC are represented within Australia and New Zealand by AIM under a detailed distribution agreement.

AIM can offer very high brightness ground calcium carbonate - both uncoated and coated grades from the lower coarse grades up to ultra fine specialist fillers and extenders.
