Orient Ceratech Ltd manufactures and markets aluminum refractories, monolithics, high alumina raw materials, ceramic proppants, and related products for steel, oil and gas, abrasives, refractories, and construction industries. Core offerings include brown fused alumina, white fused alumina, pink fused alumina, white fused mullite, fused alumina-magnesia spinel, calcined bauxite, high alumina refractory cement; monolithics such as conventional and low-cement castables, refractory mortars, and neutral ramming mass; and ceramic proppants encompassing intermediate-strength and high-strength variants for hydraulic fracturing. The company operates manufacturing facilities in Porbandar and Bhuj, Gujarat, with captive bauxite and kaolin resources, and maintains a global distribution network across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Australia, serving clients in countries including China, UAE, Oman, South Korea, and Indonesia. Incorporated in 1971 and headquartered at Lawrence & Mayo House, 3rd Floor, Dr. D.N. Road, Fort, Mumbai, India, Orient Ceratech functions as a key entity within the Ashapura Group of Industries, which acquired it in 2015. Recent developments encompass a name change from Orient Abrasives Ltd. to Orient Ceratech Ltd. effective July 31, 2023; a ₹50 crore capital expenditure in FY25 for acquisition and expansion of a chamotte plant from a group entity, doubling capacity in one of its top product lines and reaching trial run stage by Q1FY26; and debt increase to ₹75 crore as of March 31, 2025, partly to fund the expansion, alongside ₹10 crore unsecured loan repayment in Q1FY26.
