Five plants, one production system

From raw material processing to robotized pressing, firing and precast engineering — every step of the refractory production chain is inside the Group, in Italy, with a distribution hub serving Northern Europe.

The sites

Where our refractories are made

Each plant is specialised by product technology, working as one integrated system under central quality control.

Levate (BG) — Unshaped refractories

Two production lines — lightweight castables with in-house vermiculite and perlite exfoliation, and dense castables, ramming mixes, mouldables and mortars — for 80,000 tonnes a year, alongside the 800 m² central laboratory and training centre.

Production80,000 t/year · Castables · Gunning & ramming mixes · Mortars

Bondeno (FE) — Maref bricks & shapes

Dense and insulating bricks and special shapes: three tunnel kilns and two shuttle kilns, over ten hydraulic presses, two extrusion lines, two vibrocasting units and an 850 m² pre-assembly platform — plus CNC anchor production.

Production35,000 t/year · Dense & insulating bricks · Special shapes · Metallic anchors

Zerbinate (FE) — TECREF precision plant

The Group precision plant since 2007: slipcast and precast specials for glass, ceramics and sanitaryware — six high-temperature kilns, a complete slip casting line and a 500 m² pre-assembly platform.

Production5,000 t/year · Slipcasting · Forehearths & channels · Superstructures

Arcene (BG) — Raw materials & logistics

Raw material selection, grinding and sieving for the whole Group, together with the central warehouse and logistics hub — the first and last gate of the production chain.

ProductionRaw material processing · Grinding & sieving · Warehouse & logistics

Anchor workshop

In-house production of metallic anchors and supports to UOP, ASTM, API, Exxon, Shell and Total standards — matched to the lining they will hold.

Tilburg (NL) — Linco Baxo Benelux

Our subsidiary in Tilburg, the Netherlands: stock of the complete product range close to the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp, with a 120-ton press, threading and welding stations for local anchor work.

Technology

Robotized production, artisan attention

Robotized pressing and palletising lines run alongside skilled hand-finishing — because a 16-ton precast block and a precision feeder part demand different kinds of care.

  • 01 SACMI hydraulic presses up to 1,000 t with robotized handling
  • 02 Tunnel and shuttle kilns with controlled firing curves
  • 03 Precast shapes up to 16 tonnes, cut and calibrated to fine tolerances
  • 04 Every batch laboratory-tested before shipment
