HOME ABOUT US ACTIVITIES FINANCIALS ANNUAL REPORT CONTACT US CONSUMABLES HomeConsumables Duferco Refractories activities began in 1999, encouraged by the specific requirement for refractory products within the steel plants of the Duferco Group. Duferco Refractories products are manufactured in China, which is the main and most competitive source of raw materials for the refractories industry. The products are manufactured in carefully selected plants, which specialize in a specific group or family of products. All of the proposed grades have been intensively tested in the steel plants of the Duferco Group before being made available to the open market, allowing Duferco Refractories to understand thoroughly the true potential of each product. Co-operation with a leading Chinese University, which specializes in ceramic and refractory material technology, enables continuous research on existing and new products. Duferco Refractories have continued to co-operate with the same Chinese manufacturers since the inception of its activities. This results in the creation of extremely strong alliances which include capital investment; as well as technical, financial and commercial agreements. This wide ranging co-operation guarantees the production of refractory products with a stable and homogeneous quality, one of the main demands of steel producers. Duferco Refractories Beijing office has several ceramic engineers responsible for product quality control. They are seconded to the production plants and have a direct link with the Lugano head office. All of the Duferco plants in China are ISO 9001:2008 certified, as well as the Duferco Refractories business unit.
