Experience creates knowledge
Refractory products are needed for each production area that operates high temperatures. The development of research-intensive specialty products for each customer and each application besides standard products, calls for tailor made solutions that enable optimal plant life even under severest circumstances and in most different areas. We always deliver these solutions at the right time and world-wide.
This performance is not an idle claim. Our customers purchase more than 130 years of experience in the production of refractory materials with every brick bought. The pursuit of innovation and an eye for new markets were given to us from the outset by our traditional business units. Inventions of refractory pioneers like Dr. Carlos Otto (Dr. C. Otto) and Heinrich Koppers (DYKO-GLASS) revolutionized the coke smelting process and strongly influenced the rise of the steel industry and tycoons like Krupp and Thyssen.
The know-how acquired over decades, and advanced manufacturing technologies are the basis for our continuous success. However, our innovative strength lies in our 1,300 employees. They handle this technology and know their business.
