In 1994 Imétal took over Lonza G + T with the plants in Bodio , Lac-des-Îles ( Québec ) and Willebroek from Lonza and renamed the company Timcal .
In 1999 the British company English China Clays was acquired and the name of the entire company was changed to Imerys ., In 2000, Treibacher abrasives was taken over as the market leader in corundum production .

In July 2017, the refractories group Kerneos was taken over, which merged with the refractories division (Imerys Refractory) to Imerys Aluminate at the beginning of 2018 .
