At present the situation on the market of refractories remains rather ambiguous. On the background of step-by-step rehabilitation of metallurgy positive tendencies are observed in the refractory branch as well. But at the same time the market of refractories remains one of the most overstocked. Intensification of competition, which occurred due to sharp slump of consumption of refractory materials during the crisis period, forced manufacturers of refractories to look for new approaches to consumers and expand product markets.
At the moment Magnezit Group has the leading positions on the CIS market of refractory products. The company confidently demonstrates positive trend of development, launching additional capacities and expanding the range of offered products. We asked the General Director of Magnezit Group Mr. Odegov Sergei Yuryevich to tell about perspective projects, production results as well as about tendencies of refractory market.
