Repair of refractory material in Cementos Portland-Valderrivas Seville (Spain)

Our young subsidiary, Alfran USA, moves forward with a firm step to become a benchmark supplier for the maintenance of refractories in the cement industry. In this way and with our portfolio of high added value refractorycastables, TIX, HIGH GUN, CLEAN, DRYTECH, alfranjet, and alfranpump, we are extending the number of references in clients such as Cemex USA, Drake Cement, and American Cement, among others.

Thanks to our 2 logistic warehouses in Laredo (Texas) and Savanah (Georgia), where we store a minimum of 100 metric tons in each, we can supply any customer in the USA with a maximum delivery time of 48 hours.

Alfran will continue to provide resources to our American subsidiary to consolidate its growth.

During the past months Alfran-HTR, our subsidiary in the United Arab Emirates, made the main shutdown at Unit 2 of Fujairah Cement Industries. In this project, 65 meters of bricks were installed in the rotary kiln, 138 tons of dense concrete in different units of the plant and 120 tons of our Lite LW 23 AS insulating concrete. The entire ALFRAN-HTR team was congratulated by the client for the prompt and perfect execution of the work. The outcome of a good job is a satisfied customer!

ALFRAN becomes part of the Aceros Inoxidables Olarra family thanks to the concession of the maintenance contract for the steel plant that the entity has in Vizcaya, País Vasco (Spain). With this agreement, ALFRAN will carry out all the tasks related to refractory materials in the main operating units of the plant, such as ladles, AOD equipment, electric furnace, tundish, etc. Achieving better performance both in plant productivity and in worker’s health and safety.

One more year, Alfran will participate in the Technical Congress of FICEM (Interamerican Cement Federation). This will be the fifth consecutive year in which Alfran attends the Congress.

It is the most important meeting between producers and suppliers of the cement industry in Latin America. Additionally, it is the only event in the region where the main cement companies of the continent seek the best offer of equipment aimed at optimizing the costs and efficiencies of their plants.

On this occasion, the Congress will be held at the Megapolis Convention Center in Panama City on September 3, 4 and 5.
