How many times have you touched #Omya products today? You might be surprised how often natural minerals such as calcium carbonate are used to improve the functionality and sustainability of everyday items such as paper, food, cosmetics and even building materials. When we are #ThinkingofTomorrow we are focusing on how to use natural minerals and chemistry to make life better. The benefits come #FromOmyaIntoOurLives.

#NEWS As part of our approach to #innovation, Omya works with other organizations including academia to develop new solutions to future challenges. We are in our fourth project with the University of Cincinnati, where students are working on how whole buildings can be recycled or reused. Yet another example of how #ThinkingofTomorrow makes life better. Find out more in our video.

At #Omya, we are committed to fostering long-term careers and providing growth opportunities for our employees. Jim Warnock's remarkable 35-year journey with the company exemplifies this commitment as he prepares to embark on a well-deserved retirement.   Jim's story with Omya began in his youth, starting as a technician in the 1990s. His dedication and the company's commitment to #careergrowth propelled Jim through the ranks, culminating in his role as Maintenance Manager at the Lucerne Valley plant in California.   As Jim closes this chapter, he reflects on the invaluable experience of building a #career grounded in his lifelong passion. Jim's dedication and contributions have been a testament to the spirit of Omya, and his legacy will undoubtedly inspire future generations within our company. #ThinkingofTomorrow
