Refractory Services
& Solutions

We provide expertise in carrying out major and capital repairs and assemblies associated with stops. Through a multi-disciplinary planning team aware of the best project management practices, we invest time and resources in the planning and preparation to have thorough control of the progress and cost.

A range of our services and solutions center around continuously optimizing the performance of the applied refractory materials. With a global network of service specialists, we plan and execute the refractory maintenance activities in synergy with your production and maintenance teams. Thus we maximize assets availability for your operation and ensure higher productivity of the shop.

Through an integrated solution contract, which includes services and the provision of refractories, the materials’ performance is continuously monitored together with operational parameters. This allows our technical experts to evaluate and propose customized solutions that maximize the value generation for you.

Our team aims to develop and produce refractory application machines, which allow greater productivity, accuracy, and quality of service.

By accumulating design know-how and production of such equipment, customized machines for each area and/or type of application are offered as part of our process-oriented solutions.
