Meet Calderys at MEIS 2026
The Middle East continues to strengthen its position as a global steelmaking hub, with investments accelerating across direct reduced iron (DRI), electric arc furnace (EAF), and downstream steel production. As producers seek greater operational reliability, supply security, and furnace performance, access to trusted refractory partners has never been more important.
At MEIS 2026, Calderys will welcome visitors at Booth B40 to discuss solutions designed for the full steelmaking process, from ironmaking and DRI production to steelmaking and ladle applications.
Serving the iron and steel industry through regional manufacturing excellence
For steelmakers, refractory performance is only part of the equation. Secure supply chains, local production capabilities, technical support, and reliable deliveries are equally critical to maintaining production continuity.
Calderys supports iron and steel producers throughout the Middle East and beyond through strategically located manufacturing assets across the region:
- Jubail, Saudi Arabia: when it will be inaugurated, the plant will produce high-performance castables serving DRI and steelmaking applications, as well as precast shapes for delta roof solutions.
- Istanbul, Türkiye: production of MgO-C bricks and alumina-based refractory solutions for DRI applications.
- India: manufacturing of magnesium-based products available in both monolithic and brick formats, supporting a broad range of steelmaking requirements.
This regional manufacturing network enables customers to benefit from improved supply-chain resilience, shortened logistics routes, reduced delivery risks, and access to technical expertise closer to their operations.
