Refractory solutions designed for reliable, efficient steel production
November 16-18, 2026
Booth B40
Steel producers operate in an environment where downtime is costly, delivery schedules are critical, and process performance directly impacts competitiveness.
Whether you are running a DRI facility, an electric arc furnace, or secondary metallurgy operations, refractory choices can have a significant influence on campaign life, maintenance frequency, productivity, and operational stability.
Visit Calderys at Booth B40 during MEIS 2026 to discuss practical solutions designed to support these objectives.
The challenge: balancing performance with supply security
Today's steelmakers face multiple challenges:
- Increasing production targets
- Pressure to reduce unplanned shutdowns
- More demanding operating conditions
- Supply chain volatility
- The need for reliable technical support
Meeting these challenges requires more than a product supplier. It requires a refractory partner capable of combining technical expertise with dependable regional manufacturing capabilities.
DRI units operate under severe thermal and mechanical conditions that place significant demands on refractory linings. The right refractory solutions can help:
- Increase campaign life
- Reduce maintenance interventions
- Improve operational consistency
- Support production reliability
Visitors can discuss castable and brick solutions developed specifically for DRI applications and learn how local production capabilities can support project schedules and maintenance requirements.
EAF operators continually seek ways to maximize availability while controlling maintenance costs. High-performance refractory solutions contribute to:
- Improved wear resistance
- Longer service intervals
- Enhanced operational stability
- Reduced shutdown frequency
Our experts will be available to discuss solutions for EAF roofs, walls, and critical wear areas.
Complex installations often require balancing durability with maintenance efficiency. Precast refractory shapes can offer:
- Consistent manufacturing quality
- Faster installation
- Reduced maintenance duration
- Improved operational planning
At MEIS 2026, discover our expertise in precast solutions, including delta roof applications developed for demanding steelmaking environments.
Magnesia-based products remain essential in many steelmaking applications because of their ability to withstand aggressive operating conditions. For steel producers, quality MgO-based refractories can deliver:
- Enhanced resistance to slag attack
- Improved durability in high-temperature environments
- Longer refractory service life
- Lower maintenance frequency
- Better operational continuity
Calderys manufactures magnesium-based solutions in both monolithic castables and refractory bricks, allowing steelmakers to select the most suitable solution for their specific operational requirements.
Regional manufacturing for greater peace of mind
Reliable refractory supply is essential to production continuity. Through manufacturing facilities located in:
- Saudi Arabia
- Türkiye
- India
- The wider EMEA region
Calderys helps customers benefit from reduced supply-chain risk, regional technical support, improved delivery reliability, manufacturing capacity closer to operations and faster response to operational requirements.
Whether you are planning a maintenance shutdown, evaluating refractory performance, or seeking greater supply-chain resilience, our specialists will be available to discuss your objectives and identify suitable solutions at Booth B40.
