About Us Gilan Mica

The first and largest manufacturer of fireproof coatings in Iran

Gilan Mica's History

The Gilan Mica Group began their production activities in its processing facilities in their vermiculite mine (raw materials of Fire-Resistant Coatings) in 1985, and since then, launched the production of related (dependent-type) mineral products, and from 2015 commenced its cooperation with the Oil and Gas Industry.

With the arrival of new designs in Industries, Buildings, and the needs of the respective Industrial Communities for new Fire-Resistant Products, Gilan Mica entered this field with the knowledge and support of their extensive research, which was conducted in 1998. We achieved the technology of manufacturing vermiculite-based products and positioned the Country among the few Countries that have the expertise of developing Fire-Resistant Coatings. Gilan Mica, a knowledge-based company, is the first manufacturer of Fireproof Coatings in the Country and has received numerous National and International certifications in the Fireproof Coatings Industry.
