About us
With nearly 80 years of history and a recognized commitment to the country, we are one of the most important and emblematic mining and industrial holdings in Chile.
Through our business units, we have a presence throughout the country. We also have industrial and infrastructure operations in Argentina and Peru, and we are planning to participate in other markets, such as Brazil and the United States.
We operate in sectors that are critical for the economy, in three large business segments:
Mining, Industrial and Infrastructure
Our commitment to sustainable development is reflected in the 2030 Strategy, with which we seek to lead the global market for decarbonization materials, promoting an integrated business portfolio and developing innovative and sustainable solutions for our customers.
We are a publicly traded corporation, registered in the Securities Registry of the Financial Market Commission (CMF, for its acronym in Spanish).
Our group is organized into three business segments:
The mining business is one of the pillars of CAP Group’s activity and is focused on the extraction and processing of essential minerals. It also plays a vital role in the supply of crucial raw materials for different industries.
Compañía Minera del Pacífico S.A. (CMP)
CMP is the main producer of high quality iron ore and pellets in the American Pacific coast, standing out for its production of magnetic iron with up to 69% iron (Fe) content, one of the highest quality in the world.
Because of its purity, this material improves the efficiency of the steelmaking process, reducing emissions and energy consumption in steel production. Thus, it is positioned as a key player in the supply of essential materials for global decarbonization.
Aclara
Aclara specializes in the extraction and processing of rare earths, essential materials for electromobility, renewable energies and advanced technology. Through sustainable processes, it reduces its environmental impact and generates value along the entire supply chain. The process, patented by Aclara Resources, is called Circular Mineral Harvesting, and is distinguished by its responsible approach, operating with a closed circuit without generating liquid industrial waste.
This segment encompasses a wide range of operations aimed at providing solutions for several industrial sectors in Chile and Latin America. These companies contribute to CAP Group’s commitment to innovation, sustainability and the development of high quality industrial solutions.
Cintac Group
Through its two business lines -modular and industrial- Cintac Group is focused on steel processing for the generation of constructive and industrialized solutions with added value for construction. It currently leads in both Chile and Peru.
Committed to sustainability, Cintac Group integrates environmental and social criteria in its operations. Through its construction solutions with high thermal insulation, it promotes energy efficiency, minimizes waste generation on site, optimizes construction times and reduces the risk of accidents for workers, redefining traditional construction and generating a positive impact on the industry.
It is an open stock corporation, registered in the Securities Registry of the Financial Market Commission.
Ree Alloys
As part of the agreement with Aclara Resources, REE Alloys was created to develop value-added products based on iron ore and rare earths alloys, which are used as raw materials for the final production of permanent magnets, key element in the development of electromobility and renewable energies.
