OUR ROAD
Or how we became a major player in Refractory Recycling
At the start of our business, it was clear that the market is in constant movement in order to meet the needs of our customers at all times, we had to follow that market. We continuously look for new markets, new products, and new logistic ways to service the market, however we also remain focused, efficient, and with a clear view of the future.
