Logan & Kanawha Coal Company, LLC is the marketing arm for all the groups' coal production. Logan & Kanawha (L&K) was acquired by the group in 1986 to effectively market the production of its coal and to enable International to grow its production base throughout the 1980's and 1990's. Logan & Kanawha has a long, proud history in the coal business, with its roots reaching back to 1915. The company has marketed over 250,000,000 tons since birth.
International has continued its strong growth exhibited in the mid 1980's. The company is poised to reach a production capacity of 14 million tons annually.
All of International's mines operate in high productivity reserve areas and utilize a union-free labor force. The company is targeting two principle coal markets: (1) metallurgical coke producers for our high fluidity high volatile coking coal and (2) the low sulfur thermal coal market. We also believe some of our thermal coals may have some application to certain customers requiring coal injection products.
Logan & Kanawha is excited about the future of International's production and its marketing possibilities and look forward to expanding its presence in the world market.
