Special Shapes Refractory Company to expand glass refractory services

2023-01-20

Jan. 19, 2023 - Special Shapes Refractory Company (SSRC) is to expand its international presence to offer services to glass manufacturers in Mexico, South America, and Europe.

After attending Glasstec and listening to feedback from customers and partners, SSRC has responded by expanding its international presence.

The company plans to offer consistent pricing, rapid turnaround, and innovative solutions to glass manufacturers in Europe, South America, Mexico, Central America and beyond.

To meet the demand for these services, SSRC has restructured the Sales Team and promoted Andrew Pea to the role of Director of International Sales and Business Development.

Mr Pea said: "SSRC will be successful in its efforts due to the stable fuel prices in the United States, nimbleness of the company, competitiveness of the USD versus other currencies, and increased demand within the glass industry.”

SSRC has created a partnership with Refmon to provide more cohesive refractory solutions for the glass market.

Refmon is dedicated to producing feeder-expendables and fulfil customised demands. It has provided solutions to over 50 countries and are dedicated to produce wear-protection linings to batch-houses, cullet transportations, and gob chutes.



Additionally, SSRC has expanded its international team with local sales agents in Mexico/Central America with ONTAL and in South America with Fábio Bernardo.

These partnerships will provide glassmakers with domestic stock supplies, quicker response time, and more solutions for refractories.

With the increased demand for pre-cast shapes, SSRC has also made internal changes to increase output, improve quality, create solutions, and decrease lead times.

In 2021, a monolithic plant was built to allow SSRC to control its incoming raw materials.

The plant has led to higher quality finished goods, reduced costs for customers, and decreased lead times for pre-cast shapes.

Over the next year, SSRC will add an additional furnace to its Bessemer, Al, USA, facility to increase its production capacity.

The additional furnace will allow the company to increase the number of channels, forehearth superstructures, and monolithic materials for the European, Mexican, and South American regions.
