Why BOIC?

Ceramic producers are always searching for alternative materials that will provide them with security of supply and improve their performance, but the alternatives are limited by geography, scarcity of minerals, lack of investment in research and new mines, logistical challenges and insufficient quality of the available products.

BOIC's proposal is to connect the demands of producers with the right alternatives of suppliers, which creates a network that reaches both interests based on a global market overview that is not limited to one region or continent. This can bring together all corners of the globe, always aiming to link a manufacturer expectation with a compatible supplier that satisfies all parties involved.

BOIC's primary mission is to improve customer performance by identifying and valuing key strengths. By also identifying potential weaknesses when needed, BOIC enhances all opportunities and provides awareness of possible threats.
