How it started
History
The company was formed when Johannesburg Consolidated Investments unbundled in 1995. Its platinum interests became Amplats, later renamed Anglo American Platinum. Anglo American was the company's majority shareholder.
On 5 October 2012, Anglo American Platinum made 12,967 striking South African miners redundant. In July 2014, Amplats announced it would sell many of its South African mines following the negative effect of five months' worth of strikes on the firm's hopes of becoming profitable.
The company was demerged from Anglo American, as Valterra Platinum, on 31 May 2025.
