CEO Borgas: “Innovation is the key to customer satisfaction.”
“When we talk about innovation, we mean a new level of refractory solutions. We call it ‘Refractory 4.0’,” says Stefan Borgas, CEO RHI Magnesita on occasion of the company’s participation in METEC 2019 in June. “Innovation is the key to customer satisfaction. As the driving force of the industry, we must deliver better and better solutions to our customers and share the value with them. Our growing R&D investments reflect this!”
METEC is the largest international trade fair for metallurgy, steel casting, and steel production. It only takes place every four years in Düsseldorf, Germany. “All major stakeholders of our industry will be there. This is a unique opportunity to interact with customers and partners, discuss the trends and exhibit the latest technologies,” says Gustavo Franco, CSO RHI Magnesita. “This year we will not only participate, but we will also make the difference. The refractory industry needs to reposition itself and we are leading this process by driving mutual innovation together with our partners. We will give our customers a taste of what is to come, and this continuous exchange is a motto of our innovative attitude.”
