Ceramitec "round table"

16.10.2014 – Höhr-Grenzhausen.

 

At the invitation of Messe München, the trade fair organizer, and the trade journal cfi – ceramic forum international, in October experts from the refractories industry met at the ECREF European Centre for Refractories in Höhr-Grenzhausen. From the discussion it clearly emerged that refractories constitute an indispensable component in a wide range of industries: iron and steel, cement and lime, glass, ceramics, chemicals, oil, energy and waste disposal. The share of the EU in the global market is 10 %, of which 40 % of the products are positioned on the global market (outside EU-28).

The Round Table participants were as follows:
