Illawarra Coke Company

Illawarra Coke Company

The Illawarra Coke Company (ICC) is located in Coalcliff and Corrimal, New South Wales, Australia where historically coal was mined on the slopes of the Illawarra escarpment. After the mines were closed, coke making still occurs on these sites. The company is the only independent producer of metallurgical and foundry coke in Australia and has been privately owned since 1996. It produces premium grade coke for metallurgical processing and foundry to Australian and overseas base metals producers for lead and zinc smelting and iron production for steelmaking. The company's two cokeworks are adjacent to all major transport links.
