The refractory industry faces a critical challenge: skilled installation supervisors are in short supply across Europe. Calderys is addressing this shortage head-on with the Supervisor Academy: a 18-month training program for refractory installation supervisors.

A new hot-gunning approach is improving furnace availability by increasing effective repair rates and cutting the number of maintenance interventions required in both Basic Oxygen Furnace and Electric Arc Furnace operations.

Construction of the new Calderys refractory production plant in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, is progressing steadily, marking an important step in strengthening the Group’s manufacturing footprint in the Middle East. The production facility reflects Calderys’ long-term commitment to local production, proximity to customers, and reliable supply for key regional industries.

Calderys was proud to participate as a Gold Sponsor at the 9th International Conference on Refractories (ICRJ 2026), held on 20–21 January 2026 at the United Club, Jamshedpur. The event brought together industry experts, researchers, and manufacturers to exchange knowledge and advance refractory science and technology.

From February 12 - 14 2026, Calderys is pleased to announce its participation in IFEX 2026 – the 22nd International Exhibition on Foundry Technology, Equipment, Supplies and Services, held concurrently with the 74th Indian Foundry Congress. Taking place at the Bombay Exhibition Centre (NESCO), Goregaon, Mumbai, IFEX 2026 is a key platform for the Indian and international foundry community to connect, exchange knowledge, and explore new technologies supporting the industry’s rapid growth.
