Anglo American Platinum

Anglo American Platinum is the world's largest primary producer of platinum-group metals (PGMs), accounting for approximately 40% of global mined platinum supply. Headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa, the company operates exclusively in South Africa's Bushveld Complex, the world's richest PGM resource. Anglo American Platinum is a subsidiary of the diversified mining group Anglo American, which holds approximately 79% of its shares, with the remainder publicly traded on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. The company's operations include 12 concentrating, smelting and refining facilities, producing platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium and osmium, as well as by-products including nickel, copper and gold. Its principal mining operations include Mogalakwena, Amandelbult, Mototolo and Unki (in Zimbabwe), alongside joint ventures and purchase-of-concentrate agreements with third-party miners. Anglo American Platinum supplies PGMs to the automotive industry for catalytic converters, as well as to jewellery, chemical, petroleum, electronics, glass and medical sectors. The company employs approximately 30,000 people and reported revenues of around R180-billion in recent years. Anglo American Platinum was formed in 1995 through the consolidation of Anglo American's platinum interests, building on mining activities that began in the Bushveld in the 1920s.
