Illawarra Coke Company

The Illawarra Coke Company (ICC) owned cokeworks located in Coalcliff and Corrimal, in the Illawarra region of New South Wales, Australia, where historically coal was mined on the slopes of the Illawarra escarpment. After the mines were closed, coke-making still occurred on these sites until their respective closures. The company was the only independent producer of metallurgical and foundry coke in Australia. The ICC purchased the Coalcliff and Corrimal sites from Kembla Coal & Coke in 1996. It produced coke for metallurgical processing and foundry to Australian and overseas base metals producers for lead and zinc smelting and iron production for steelmaking.
