A sintered magnesia is a result of magnesite ore extraction and its processing. Sintered magnesia is a basic raw material for the unshaped and shaped refractory products. Our products can be utilized for heat aggregates lining–in steel making, non-ferrous metallurgy, lime and cement industry. They are used as a heating media in electric storage heaters and in agriculture as a magnesia source as well.

More than fifty years of our production tradition and a lot of experiences–this is a guarantee of our customers satisfaction. Of course we provide all the services and a complete technical assistance according to our customer needs. Our research and development leads to furnace lining operational life extension–and it leads to customer expenses decrease. Of course, we put a remarkable accent on quality and environment at each step of our production and product application.

Selected Data

To summarize the year 2013, we can point out the fact that it was possibly the most active year of the almost 60 year’s history of the company as far as the investments concern. In concordance with harmonogram a new line started to product the first carbon-magnesia bricks on Carbores basis - on May 2013. These products are convenient for heat resistant linings of the most up-to-date aggregates of black metallurgy and these products absorb 70 percent of our production. It seems to be very positive step as it can be seen already from the first month of the production - new products fulfil the expectations. Another important investment was finished in 2013 – a briquetting line designed for more effective processing of our raw materials.

For the first time in our history we managed to sell the first tonnes of calcined caustic magnesia in accordance with FAMI-QS and HACCP systems that was the important step for our production portfolio wider diversification. We managed not only to process raw magnesite in our waist stocks, but also the magnesia dusts from filters as well. These steps improve not only the economy but have also the positive impact to environment.

The profit of 2013 year could have been better than 300 thousand euro after taxation. But we met only 63 % of the plan as far as the bricks sale concerns and only 78 % as far as masses sale concerns. It is the big challenge for the future: to be more successful – in spite of the recession and hard competition. We do believe an active business policy together with the new technologies and quality of work enables to meet our targets.
