Who we are

We supply refractory products for the iron, steel and nonferrous metals industries. Established in 1991, we are headquartered in the United Kingdom, with sales and technical teams located close to our customers.

The core of our business is focused on the production of carbon-bonded shaped materials for the steel industry, particularly for converters, EAFs, and ladles. We serve over 70 customers across 20 countries, with the largest market being Europe. We deliver products from our own ISO Accredited site based in Liaoning, China.

Our Mission

Our mission is to be the best refractory partner for our customers; this means delivering balanced linings, targeted output, and consistent quality.

Partnering/working with our customers, we develop refractory solutions that contribute to extended lifetime of linings in operation. In doing so, our specialists from the fields of metallurgy and refractory materials work on the continuous optimisation of materials, always aligned with the operating parameters of our customers. Our employees on-site monitor and ensure that the installation, repair, maintenance, and dismantling of vessel linings are carried out efficiently and effectively. 

The strategically favourable location of our production plant relative to magnesite deposits makes our production extremely flexible and the product portfolio correspondingly diverse. This means we can focus on the daily challenge of optimizing each lining for our customers. Taken together, customers choose us because we are the most responsive and reliable partner; passionate about achieving great results.
