- Vesuvius plc provides molten metal flow engineering and technology solutions principally to the steel and foundry industries worldwide. The company operates through Steel and Foundry divisions; the Steel division encompasses Flow Control, offering consumable ceramic products, systems, robotics, and digital services for steel flow management; Advanced Refractories, supplying specialist products to contain molten metal in steel-making equipment; and Sensors & Probes, providing monitoring and control products; while the Foundry division, under the Foseco brand, delivers feeding systems, coatings, metal treatment, filters, refractories, crucibles, and molten metal systems for iron, steel, and non-ferrous foundries. Vesuvius maintains manufacturing facilities across six continents, with a presence in over 30 countries, and embeds technical experts at customer sites to deliver customized services enhancing safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Founded in 1916 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, the company recently completed its acquisition of the Molten Metal Systems business from Morgan Advanced Materials Plc in November 2025 for an enterprise value of £92.7m, comprising £20m cash and shares in its Indian subsidiary Foseco India Limited; this transaction expands exposure to the faster-growing non-ferrous segment, particularly aluminium, copper alloys, and precious metals, increases the Foundry division's non-ferrous revenue share from 21% to about 27%, bolsters its Indian manufacturing footprint, and is expected to deliver significant cost synergies boosting EBITDA by at least 50% while remaining accretive to earnings per share from the first full year.
