What we make
Refractories for every stage of steelmaking
From melting to continuous casting — one supplier, one quality system, full traceability.
Flow Control
Long nozzles, submerged entry nozzles, quick-exchange nozzles and monoblock stoppers with high-purity ZrO₂ inserts.
EAF Refractories
MgO-C bricks, tap-hole systems, roof deltas and gunning mixes engineered for electric arc furnace campaigns.
Ladle Refractories
Complete ladle lining concepts: slag-line bricks, purging plugs, well blocks and high-performance castables.
Tundish Refractories
Tundish linings, spray and dry-vibe mixes, upper nozzles and impact pads for clean, stable casting.
Castables & Monolithics
Iron-runner castables, low-cement and self-flowing castables, ramming and gunning materials.
Prefabricated Shapes
Precast, pre-fired functional shapes delivered ready to install — reducing downtime and on-site labour.
Where we work
Applications along the entire process route
