Company Description

Anglo American's name might be a little misleading -- it has never been American. The UK-based company owns significant stakes in global producers of platinum (75% of Anglo Platinum) and diamonds (45% of De Beers S.A.). In addition, Anglo American has interests in ferrous and base metals and industrial minerals; it also is among the world's largest coal miners. The company spent much of the 2000s reorganizing its portfolio and narrowing its focus. Although it used to have a majority stake in AngloGold Ashanti, Anglo American divested its remaining shares in 2009. The founding Oppenheimer family no longer controls Anglo American, and PLC Nominees (Pty) Limited holds more than 35% of the stock.

      Competitive Landscape Brief

      Demand is driven by construction spending and agricultural spending on fertilizers. Large companies have some economies of scale in purchasing and administrative systems, and have the production volume to supply large construction projects, such as new highways. Small companies typically own just one mine and compete in a local market based on superior customer service. Imports of nonmetallic minerals account for about 5 percent of the US market. Major sources of imports include Canada, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Iraq, and Mexico. US exports, mainly to Canada, Japan, China, Mexico, and Germany, represent about 5 percent of domestic production.
