Saint-Gobain’s High-Performance Refractories business acquired Spin-Works International Corp., a manufacturer of 3D-printed and extruded silicon-carbide ceramic components that improve energy efficiency, recover waste heat and reduce emissions for customers in a wide range of high-temperature industrial processes. The acquisition expands Saint-Gobain’s capabilities in the ceramic industrial burner and heat-recovery markets, especially in the steel and automotive businesses.

In order to handle a bigger project load, Bloom Engineering expanded its Project Management Department.
