Connecting advanced refractory technology, technical expertise, and application knowledge to the future of steelmaking
As the steel industry continues to navigate increasing demands for productivity, energy efficiency, operational reliability and sustainability, refractory technology plays a critical role in helping steelmakers optimize performance. At ABM Week 2026, HWI, A member of Calderys, will bring its technical expertise and innovative refractory solutions to one of Latin America’s leading forums for metallurgy, materials and mining.
Taking place September 8–10 at Pro Magno Centro de Eventos in São Paulo, Brazil, ABM Week 2026 brings together industry professionals, researchers, academics, and technology providers to explore the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of the industry. The 10th edition is expected to be one of the event’s largest, with more than 1,300 technical papers submitted and 105 exhibiting companies.
For HWI, the event provides an important opportunity to share technical knowledge, exchange ideas with steelmaking professionals, and demonstrate how advanced refractory solutions can contribute to improved operating performance.
