Who we are

An independent Chinese producer of rutile pigment

TIKON is an independent Chinese producer of sulphate process rutile titanium dioxide. Our plant in Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province, combines a purpose-built rutile line with its own sulphuric acid production, water treatment and finished goods logistics on a single 27.87-hectare site.

The business has been developed over five decades and has operated under international ownership. In June 2026 TIKON was divested by Tronox and became an independent company, continuing with the same plant, the same technical team and the same product grades.
