Refractory companies announce strategic technology transfer agreement. Trent Refractories Ltd and Alcar International Ltd have entered into a strategic technology transfer agreement. Alcar International Limited, founded in 1986, specialised in the development and marketing of innovative refractory solutions, including the first ‘in-line’ tube changer in the UK and Scandinavia. With a wealth of knowledge and experience in the industry, Alcar has been instrumental in advancing technologies. Their dedication to quality and innovation has made them a leader in the field.

Under this new agreement, Trent will continue to manufacture a range of Alcar’s product lines in the UK. This collaboration will involve the full transfer of knowledge and technology from Alcar to Trent, ensuring a seamless transition and operational synergies for customers. Trent MD Katy Moss said: “We are committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and service that their customers have come to expect. In addition to our current portfolio, Trent will be manufacturing collector nozzles, upper nozzles, and cast and fired shapes. These products are essential components in the refractories industry, and we are excited to continue their production with the same level of quality and precision that Alcar’s customers have come to expect.

“We would like to extend our gratitude to the team at Alcar for their invaluable contribution to the refractories industry. Their expertise and dedication have been instrumental in servicing these customers over the years, and we look forward to building on this legacy going forward and growing our manufacturing base here in the UK”.
