This new line was set up with the help of technical know-how from company’s material subsidiary, Sheffield Refractories, UK.

With addition of comprehensive range of Plastic Refractories, the Company will be in a position to meet ever increasing demand from ferrous and non ferrous industries.

These plastic refractories would strengthen company’s robustmonolithics portfolio comprising castables, precast, shotcrete and ramming mass and thus reaffirm Company’s commitment to delivering high performance refractory solutions manufactured in India for advancing self-reliance and driving industrial progress.

The capital outlay involved for this expansion project has been about Rs 2.10 crore financed largely by internal accruals. The total installed capacity is 10,000 MT per annum.

"With very few domestic manufacturers currently in this sector, Company’s entry marks a significant step toward strengthening indigenous capacity and reducing reliance on imports,” IFGL Refractories said in a statement.

The company offers a wide range of specialised refractory products and operating systems for its products to customers worldwide.
