The development of Fairmount Santrol into an innovative industry leader capable of supplying many of the world’s biggest industries started with small beginnings. In 1978, Bill Conway, founder of Fairmount Minerals, was searching for a company to purchase when he came across Walter C. Best, Inc., a small silica sand producer located in Chardon, Ohio.
Conway’s extensive background in mining made purchasing the northeast Ohio sand mining operation, which was renamed Best Sand, a logical fit and would set the foundation for what would become Fairmount Minerals.
