Fused Cast Materials from REFEL

The REFEL brand stands for high-quality, top-notch refractory products and customer-oriented services for the glass industry ever since it was founded.

Today, REFEL is an integral part of RHI Refractories, in which all refractory activities of the glass sector in the globally operating RHI Group are concentrated. REFEL was established in 1986 and integrated into Didier Group in 1993. In 1995, the RHI Group acquired Didier-Werke AG.

REFEL, San Vito al Tagliamento, Italy, produces exclusively fused cast AZS refractory products for the glass industry. The focus on technologically sophisticated materials meets market needs, such as the demand for longer glass furnace service lives, enhanced specific furnace performance/loads, and ever-higher glass grades. REFEL has been particularly successful with the production of complex geometries, as employed in the special glass industry.

RHI Refractories, in continuation of REFEL S.p.A., will be committed to perfectly adjusted refractory supplies for melting furnaces and secondary units in all areas of the glass industry.

The acknowledged product and service quality of RHI Refractories is based on carefully selected, long term tried raw materials, production plants furnished with state-of-the-art technology, permanent intensive research and development activities in the company's own technology centre in Leoben, Austria, and on the high-level expertise of all employees working in the sales, marketing, production, and research divisions. In this regard, RHI Refractories sees itself not only as a reliable suppler of high-quality refractory products, but also as partner of the glass industry.
