ECLP
1932 English Clays, Lovering, Pochin, & Co was formed by the merger of English China Clays with two of its main rivals - Lovering China Clays and H. D. Pochin. The new company was referred to for short as ECLP & Co. Ltd
1954 ECLP kept this name until it was able to buy the shares from the Lovering and Pochin families. ECLP was restructured, and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the newly formed English China Clays group.
Four divisions were created: ECC construction materials, ECC quarries, and ECC transportation, and ECC International. ECC transportation was later merged into ECC international.
Later the company divested all but two of its divisions, ECC International and ECC quarries.
1986 English Clays, Lovering, Pochin, & Co was renamed ECC International Ltd.
2000 the English China Clays group and its subsidiaries was bought by Imetal SA, which changed its name to Imerys. Imerys has kept ECC International subsidiary as its speciality china clay producing division under that name, even though it does not use that name or division logo, which have been replaced by the Imerys name and logo. Imerys is now the world's largest china clay producer.
