Prelined in the Mariestad (Sweden) Foundry Service Center, the Acetarc ladles are ready to use once they reach the foundry

Calderys is proud to announce a new partnership with Acetarc Limited, a UK-based specialist in foundry ladle design and manufacturing. This partnership, which makes Calderys the distributor of Acetarc ladles in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway, marks an important milestone in enhancing foundry operations across the region.

By combining Acetarc’s engineering expertise with Calderys’ leadership in refractory linings and thermal protection, the collaboration enables the delivery of pre-lined, ready-to-use ladles, offering foundries a complete and reliable solution for their molten metal handling needs.

Calderys leverages its extensive portfolio of solutions for foundry ladles.

A new level of efficiency and reliability for foundries

Ladles are at the heart of every melting and casting operation. Through this collaboration, customers will benefit from a streamlined supply chain and fully integrated solutions:

Acetarc’s proven ladle designs ensure mechanical strength, precision, and long-term durability.
Calderys’ refractory expertise guarantees thermal efficiency, safety, and lining longevity.
Pre-lined delivery means less downtime, fewer installation steps, and consistent performance from day one.

With both companies’ strengths combined, foundries in the Nordic region can now source Acetarc ladles that are engineered, lined, and ready for immediate use, ensuring optimal performance and cost efficiency.
