Company News
Calderys and Acetarc join forces to deliver complete ladle solutions in the Nordics. Calderys has announced a strategic partnership with Acetarc Limited, a UK-based expert in the design and manufacture of foundry ladles. Under this agreement, Calderys will serve as the official distributor of Acetarc ladles in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway, strengthening support for Nordic foundries with fully integrated molten metal handling solutions. By combining Acetarc's engineering precision with Calderys' expertise in refractory linings and thermal management, the collaboration provides pre-lined, ready-to-use ladles. This approach ensures foundries receive complete, reliable solutions that enhance operational efficiency and safety. Ladles play a crucial role in all melting and casting operations, serving as the primary vessel for transferring molten metal safely and efficiently. Ensuring their reliability and durability is essential for smooth foundry processes. Through this collaboration, foundries in the Nordic region gain access to Acetarc's expertly engineered ladles, known for their mechanical strength, precision, and long-lasting performance. These designs provide a robust foundation for handling molten metal with confidence. Complementing this, Calderys contributes advanced refractory linings that enhance thermal efficiency, improve safety, and extend the ladles' service life. Delivered pre-lined and ready to use, these ladles minimize installation steps, reduce downtime, and ensure consistent, high-performance operation from the very first use. By combining their capabilities, Calderys and Acetarc enable foundries in the Nordics to access ladles that are engineered, lined, and ready for immediate operation, improving performance while controlling costs. Calderys supports foundries globally with a broad range of refractory solutions tailored to modern melting and pouring processes. Its custom-engineered ladle linings optimize heat retention, enhance safety during metal transfer, and extend operational life. The company offers a complete portfolio of materials and installation methods, including monolithic linings and prefabricated shapes, backed by extensive field expertise and technical support. Acetarc Limited, a family-owned UK company, brings decades of experience in foundry ladle design and molten metal handling. Its products are recognized worldwide for quality and reliability, supporting safe and efficient operations in metal casting. Together, Calderys and Acetarc deliver comprehensive solutions - from ladle design and refractory lining to technical support - helping foundries maximize efficiency, reduce downtime, and maintain high safety standards.
Since its launch in May 2023, Calderys has been participating in HEATERNAL, an EU-funded project working to develop a viable decarbonisation solution using thermal energy storage.
The Calderys Group has announced a significant investment to build a new innovation centre for refractories research and development close to its production facility in Neuwied, Germany.
Serving all the Group's core markets—including foundry, iron and steel, aluminum, and cement— it will play a crucial role in helping customers navigate their green energy transition challenges. Construction is expected to be complete by late 2025.Strategic locationNeuwied is the Group's European largest production site and has been a recognized center for innovation since 1955, leveraging Germany's reputation in metallurgy and refractory industries. Locating the Innovation Center close to the Neuwied facility provides easy access to industrial and scale-up trials, ensuring greater collaboration and support between the Innovation Technology, Quality Control, and Production teams. It will also benefit from its proximity to other Calderys sites and their distinct processes for producing monolithics, steel casting fluxes and molding solutions. A multicultural team of experts dedicated to advancing research and development has been reinforced over the past month, with potential additional recruitments in the future.The Neuwied location also offers access to the expertise of local talent pool, partnerships, and collaboration with prestigious academic institutions such as RWTH Aachen, the University of Koblenz, and the University of Liege in Belgium, along with industry resources, such as the European Centre for Refractories (ECREF) and the FGF (Research Association for Refractories).Advanced equipmentThe facility will include modular rooms to accommodate a range of RD activities, fully connected infrastructure with air, water, dedusting, IT, and ventilation facilities, and a showroom to highlight innovation work and results.State-of-the-art equipment will include advanced machinery for determining high-temperature properties, mineralogical and chemical composition and imaging for in-house advanced materials characterization. These investments will further elevate quality control, research capabilities, and efficiency, ensuring that customers continue to receive products of the highest quality and performance.Calderys' third Innovation CenterThe new EMEA Innovation Center joins Calderys' global network of RD facilities, including its centers in the USA for the Americas, and in India for the APAC region. The Group is also developing its innovation capabilities in India with more than 2,000 square meters of new lab space in the state of Odisha, where Calderys currently builds a major single-site greenfield plant dedicated to refractories and steel casting fluxes
For the first time, Calderys brought together 80 foundry leaders and experts from 12 countries at Calderys Meet 2024 in Västerås, Sweden, on September 26-27, 2024.
