Copelmi has been extracting coal from the land since 1883. It has been contributing to development and generating energy for more than a century. A pioneer in the exploration of mineral coal in Brazil, the company is now responsible for more than 80% of the coal for industrial use in the country. Copelmi is a national company focused on the production of mineral coal. The largest private coal mining company in the country, Copelmi holds 80% of the industrial market and 18% of the total national mineral coal market. The flexibility of its production allows for a diverse range of products, capable of serving everything from the thermoelectric market to other industries, such as petrochemicals, cellulose, food and cement.

In its operations, Copelmi follows strict socio-environmental responsibility criteria. It guarantees the protection and maintenance of the health of its employees, offering the best working conditions. This concern extends to extraction locations, where Copelmi promotes social well-being, establishing partnerships with its communities.
