Description

From the late 1960s, senior staff at the pigments plant travelled overseas to visit companies and factories in the same or related industries, including Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) offices and plants in England and BASF offices and plants in Germany. Other countries visited included the United States, Canada and Italy. Several trips were made by Hugh A. Grayson and Alan Barlee, with D. K. Grant, Simon Balfour-Browne and A. R. Traves also involved at times.

This series consists of the reports and papers resulting from these visits, with each item covering a single overseas trip by one or two staff members. Subjects covered in the reports include new and existing pigment products, technical and processing details, and imports and tariffs.

For documents, papers and correspondence related to the organisation of these trips, as well as duplicates of some reports, see Series 8.

The provenance of Pigment Manufacturers of Australia Limited has been assigned to this series as it was not possible to determine a finer provenance attribution. Also included are files pre-dating the formation of PMA Ltd, which have been assigned the provenance of Pigments Plant at Laverton.
