Fireproof products handmade in Germany!

Hand moulding at Dr. C. Otto, Bochum/Dahlhausen
 
Ms. Ottilie Scholz, the acting senior mayor of the city of Bochum, paid a visit on 28 September 2015, together with the managing director of the Bochum Economic Development Office Mr. Ralf Meyer, to the world-famous hand-moulding plant of P-D Refractories GmbH at the Dr. C. Otto site in Bochum Dahlhausen.
The first hand-moulded, fireproof products were made here more than 100 years ago. Today the highest quality and most sophisticated fireproof products are manufactured manually at the Dr. C. Otto hand-moulding plant.

Since the new multifunctional tunnel kiln was put into operation in July 2014, these products can now be fired at increased extremely high temperatures. The plant’s own joinery with modern automatic CNC machines provides complex multi-layered wooden moulds and therefore ensures that any complex form can be manufactured. This has made it possible to manufacture 247 types with more than 35,000 forms from 100 grams to 660 kilos for 491 customers in 64 countries:

Fireproof products of the highest quality handmade in Germany!
