INTOCAST AG is one of the world’s leading specialists in refractory products and manufactures both shaped and unshaped Refractory products, casting auxiliaries and metallurgical slag additives.
LUCKS Feuerfesttechnik GmbH is a renowned expert for the refractory lining of industrial furnace plants and specializes in “turn-key projects”. The two companies are entering into a strategic cooperation to provide their customers with an even better integrated service in refractory engineering, refractory materials and assembly at the highest level.
The specialists at LUCKS with their boutique character and practice-oriented “Think Simple” approach benefit from the global network of the INTOCAST Group with more than 30 companies and their high quality and reliability through their production of refractory products. For the lining of lime kilns, LUCKS relies primarily on fired bricks from INTOCAST’s Slovakian production. These are characterized not only by their outstanding thermal properties but also by their exceptional durability and reliability.
INTOCAST will benefit in particular from LUCKS’ many years of expertise in refractory plant engineering for the lime sector and will thus be able to expand its business area with its European production of magnesite bricks.
“With our companies within the INTOCAST Group, we are already offering globally outstanding expertise for turn-key projects in various industries. In the refractory lining of lime kilns, we have the highest respect for the experience and expertise of Thorsten Ommerborn and his team. And we are proud to have the specialists from LUCKS Feuerfesttechnik, a leading lime expert, as a partner. ” says INTOCAST CEO Matthias Normann, praising the new cooperation partner.
LUCKS Managing Director Thorsten Ommerborn adds: “In the medium-sized businesses in the plant engineering sector, we rely on a first-class network and only enter into long-term strategic cooperations based on expertise, an excellent reputation and mutual trust. INTOCAST is not only professionally, but also culturally an ideal partner for us.”
A first joint project between the two companies is already being implemented. The local proximity of the two companies, headquartered in Duisburg and Ratingen plays only a minor role, what is especially important is the strategic, structural and cultural similarities.
