The ceramic kiln roller manufacturer has opened its own warehouse in Newport, Delaware, from where it will manage sales and supplies to US customers.

Novaref is concluding the year with positive results thanks to a good performance in North and South America. Capacity expansion work has been completed.

The company is celebrating the anniversary with a series of initiatives, events and promotions aimed at customers, suppliers, employees and the local community.

The refractory roller manufacturer aims to increase its production capacity while further improving the quality of its top performing products.

While awaiting the launch of its new NOVA HD roller at Tecna 2022, Novaref continues to automate its production departments and has already scheduled investments for 2023.

The Italian whiteware, brick and refractory industries also saw a recovery in 2021.

The Italian chemical group aims to expand its range for the tile and refractory industry, which comprises the Flube Cer binders, the Vebe Cer products and the Flube PA additives.

According to figures unveiled by Confindustria Ceramica for the performance of the three sectors in 2018, refractories and tableware performed well but the sanitaryware industry saw a downturn.

Marcheluzzo Ceramics commissioned a new dryer for refractories supplied to Eco-Inter.

By the summer 2017, the well known manufacturer of refractory rollers will be starting up an exceptionally large new-generation kiln capable of producing up to 400,000 rollers/year with energy savings of 35%.
