Application Technology Blends Legacy and Innovation with New Industry Focus

Jul 15, 2025 / Manufacturing

In a bold move blending legacy and innovation, our Application Technology group is excited to officially announce an expansion into a new industry – thermal storage.

For over 75 years, we have been entrenched in the power generation industry. As the industry transitions from fossil fuels to renewable energy, new thermal storage technologies will be needed to deliver consistent, high-temperature heat using renewable electricity.

Supporting this new and growing industry aligns closely with our Group’s broader innovation strategy and enables us to respond effectively to the growing demand from industries transitioning to cleaner energy solutions.

Check out our new webpage dedicated to thermal storage refractory solutions and be on the lookout for more highlights and announcements from this initiative very soon!
