Business
Korea Refractories Co., Ltd (KRX: 010040) manufactures and supplies shaped refractories, including special high alumina bricks, fire clay bricks, unburned bricks, acid proof bricks, cordierite bricks, insulating fire bricks, unburned magnesia bricks and others; monolithic refractories, including castables, plastic refractories, mortar and others; functional refractories; and non-ferrous metal powders. The company also designs, constructs and maintains industrial furnaces and facilities such as heating and heat treatment equipment, raw materials storage facilities, gravity tanks, chimneys and iron frame structures for metal, chemical, power generation and environmental applications, with products serving iron and steel making, power plants, incinerators, cement and lime kilns, glass, nonferrous metals, chemicals, heating furnaces, reheating furnaces and stacks. In addition, it engages in powder processing, aluminum alloy and dross production, and provides construction and maintenance services primarily to heavy industries. Founded in 1973 and formerly known as Korea Special Refractories Co., Ltd until its name change in January 1995, the company is headquartered at 370 Musudeul-gil, Songsan-myeon, Dangjin-si, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea, with additional facilities including a Seocheon factory and operations tied to major clients like Hyundai Steel. Korea Refractories operates mainly in South Korea, focusing on domestic sales to steel, cement, non-ferrous metals and other industrial sectors, with business segments encompassing refractories, aluminum and construction. In recent developments, the company announced plans in December 2025 to divest approximately 12 billion won worth of its own shares, aiming to optimize its capital structure. It reported positive net income of KRW 5.505 billion for fiscal year 2024, reflecting recovery from prior losses, alongside steady revenue growth to KRW 416 billion. The firm continues to supply refractories for key projects such as Hyundai Steel's integrated steel mill operations and maintains long-term contracts for furnace construction and maintenance.
