Feb. 12, 2025 - Proudly, Refratechnik celebrates its 75th anniversary with sincere thanks to all business partners and employees.

Refratechnik Group looks back on its 75-year history: What began in 1950 with the founding of "Steinwerke Feuerfest Karl Albert" in Vogelbeck near Northeim (Germany), has grown in 2025 to a global group of companies active in the refractory and raw materials industry, with more than 2,100 employees.

Highly developed refractory products, service, and process know-how, which are applied worldwide in all industrial high-temperature processes (e.g. in the cement, lime, ceramics, steel, aluminium, NF metals, and glass industries), are central elements in the service portfolio of the Group that is headquartered in Munich (Germany). 

Moreover, Refratechnik is a leading manufacturer of high-grade magnesia products. With a strong focus on sustainability, globally unique deposits of cryptocrystalline magnesite in Australia, and macrocrystalline magnesite in Canada are mined, processed, and supplied to customers worldwide.

As the only family-owned company in the leading refractory business worldwide, we pursue a valueoriented corporate culture, in which team spirit, expertise and competence, consistency, and close customer contact in particular, are of great importance.

75 years of Refratechnik are a renewed incentive to achieve and ensure the best for our customers: Expect the best.
