When your plant has a daily throughput worth millions, you need to cut downtime wherever possible.  

You want reliable supplies of high quality refractories in steel manufacturing that give you a longer campaign life or reduced scrap yields.  You don’t want to stop an operation because a ceramic lining must be replaced earlier than expected. We understand that the cost of that is huge in terms of lost production in the steel manufacturing process – much bigger than the refractory’s original price tag.

We work with glass manufacturers and the specialist contractors who reline their furnaces with advanced refractories.  Established in 1947, we have extensive knowledge of the refractory products you need to lengthen the life of your furnaces without compromising on quality.

As a glass manufacturer, this means you will improve the productivity and efficiency of your operation, because your downtime will decrease.  As a contractor, we will give you a competitive edge.  You will be able to offer customers quality refractories that resist corrosion better and come with longer warranties.

Over the last 70 years we have built up extensive expertise, developing and procuring technical ceramics and refractories that resist corrosion and save energy. We also have a network of specialist manufacturers, who are keen to find new solutions to intractable problems.

We are bringing these contacts and knowledge to the cement industry, to help you in two areas: productivity and costs.
