Industry
Höganäs Borgestad develops, manufactures, and supplies refractory products, installations, and turnkey solutions that help improve productivity and competitiveness for industrial customers. The group provides reliable refractory solutions to meet challenging demands and is a leading supplier in the Nordic refractory market, with a presence in selected global applications.
Refractory materials are essential for high-temperature industrial processes, designed to withstand extreme heat. These materials are critical in industries such as metal production, cement, glass, and paper manufacturing. By acting as protective linings for furnaces, kilns, and reactors, refractories help safeguard equipment, optimize energy efficiency, and improve operational performance. Without these materials, the production of many everyday products would not be possible.
