From a small volume of a few hundred thousand tonnesand with a limited number of customers under its fold in 2010, IPM Commodities have grown to a volume of a million Mt of Manganese Ore per annum and is presently catering to almost all the Manganese alloys producers in the country. IPM Commodities supplies Manganese Ore from the minesin the Kalahari region of Northern Cape in South Africaof its group company Assmang Limited.
