September 18, 2026 - Today, Calderys teams across the world are coming together for Safe. Day 2026, a dedicated day to pause, reflect and reinforce our shared commitment to health and safety.

From September 9–11, 2026, Calderys will exhibit at Thermotec 2026, held at the Tokyo Big Sight, Tokyo. At Hall S1, Booth F011, the Calderys team in Japan will present its refractory solutions for the industrial-furnace and thermal-processing sector, welcoming customers, partners and industry peers from across the region.

As cement producers increasingly turn to alternative fuels such as refuse-derived fuel (RDF) to support more sustainable and efficient operations, the operating conditions inside cement plants are changing. For refractory linings, this transition can create new technical challenges, including higher temperatures, increased chemical attack, and more variable kiln environments.

From July 8–10, 2026, Calderys exhibited at Aluminium China 2026, held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC). At booth 1H35, the Calderys team in China presented its customized refractory lining design solutions for the aluminum industry, welcoming customers, partners, and industry peers from across the region.

Aluminum furnace operators face a persistent challenge: extended downtime during refractory relining can cost hundreds of thousands in lost production. Traditional dry-out processes require 160+ hours to safely reach operating temperatures, with moisture-related explosive spalling posing safety risks. For facilities with complex induction systems, these challenges intensify, as conventional moisture evacuation methods become impossible to implement.

As steelmakers accelerate decarbonization pathways and heavy industries adapt to stricter regulatory frameworks, the role of advanced refractory solutions has never been more critical.
