The plant was established as Ilmenittsmelteverket on 21 December 1983 as a replacement after Det Norske Nitridaktieselskap closed its aluminum plant in Tyssedal. Production commenced in 1986. In 1988 it was bought by Tinfos Jernverk and renamed Tinfos Titan & Iron. [2]
In 2008 Tinfos was bought by Eramet, giving the plant its current name.
In May 2020 Eramet announced the sale of the plant to Tronox. [3]
On 22 September 2023, Eramet sold the plant to Ineos Enterprises for $245 million. The plant was renamed INEOS Tyssedal. The deal also included a long-term supply contract for ilmenite produced by Eramet's Senegalese Grande Côte Opérations. [4]
