Allied Mineral Products, after breaking ground a little over a year ago, opened a new manufacturing facility in Pell City, Ala. When Allied purchased Riverside Refractories in 2017, it acquired two locations in Alabama: Anniston and Pell City. To better serve the customer base in the southeast region, Allied combined both locations into one facility. Pell City joins Allied’s U.S. manufacturing operations in Columbus, Ohio; Brownsville, Texas; and Chehalis, Wash.
Because of equipment improvements and material innovations – such as no-cement, colloidal silica, which offers optimal alkali resistance and bonding properties – contractors are installing monolithic refractories in areas of cement kilns once reserved for brick refractory.
HarbisonWalker International (HWI) celebrated the grand opening of its newly constructed monolithic refractories manufacturing plant in South Point, Ohio. HWI announced in February 2017 that it would invest $30 million to build a technologically advanced refractories plant. Ground was broken for the facility on June 8, 2017, and the plant began shipping products in spring 2018. The plant features state-of-the-art processes and technology and utilizes lean-manufacturing techniques throughout its operations to maximize material flow efficiency and production.
HarbisonWalker International (HWI) announced that its Thomasville, Ga., monolithic/precast facility became the first of HWI's North American locations to earn certification to the new ISO 9001:2015 standard. HWI's South Shore, Ky., plant quickly followed to become the first refractory brick manufacturing plant in North America to achieve the same status. Both plants achieved this quality system recognition based on the recommendation of SRI Quality System Registrar.
HarbisonWalker International (HWI) selected The Point Industrial Park in South Point, Lawrence County, Ohio, as the location for its state-of-the-art monolithic refractories manufacturing facility.
HarbisonWalker International will invest $30 million to construct a new, state-of-the-art monolithic refractories manufacturing facility along the Ohio River Valley in the northern Kentucky/southern Ohio region of the U.S.
