Ceramic engineering, from problem to part

For decades we have designed and manufactured world-class products from ceramic materials. We start from scratch with your enquiry and have remodelled items across mining, automotive, heating, marine, food processing, infrastructure, and manufacturing.

What our technical team does

We produce a world-class product at a very competitive price. In fact, our tooling is cheaper than any competitive quote, guaranteed.

If you need advice on replacing a current underperforming item with a ceramic replacement, we help you from start to finish. Whatever the material and whatever you are trying to achieve, we can do it.

What we engineer for

Abrasion resistance

Parts that outlast metal and polymer in high-wear duty.

Mechanical strength

Bodies engineered to carry real structural load.

Heat-shock resistance

Survives rapid temperature change without failure.

High refractoriness

Stable at the temperatures that defeat other materials.

Electrical performance

Good resistance at high and low temperatures, with low loss at high frequency.

Thermal conductivity

Tuned for heat transfer or insulation as the application needs.

Our material grades

Steatite 201 / 215 / 010

Electrical insulators, high-strength and low-loss ceramics, dense grinding media, and crushable element inserts.

Dense Cordierite 307

Heat-shock resistance with high density and good strength.

Cordierite Refractory 350

Heat-shock refractory duty.

Self Glaze Cordierite 399

Electrical insulators with increased strength and a glazed finish.

Magnesium Oxide 8500

Tubular element insulation.

Mullite Refractory A140

High-temperature refractory applications.

Do not let the process scare you. Send us the part that is failing, or just describe the problem, and we will work backward to the cheapest body and tooling that solves it.

Technical Expertise: common questions

Can you reverse-engineer a part I currently import?
Yes. Send the part or its drawings plus application notes. Replacing imported or underperforming parts with locally-made ceramic equivalents is a core part of what we do.
Is your tooling really the cheapest?
We guarantee our tooling is cheaper than any competitive quote. If you have a quote, show us.
What industries have you engineered for?
Mining, automotive, heating, marine, food processing, infrastructure, and manufacturing, among others.

Need technical expertise?

Send a drawing, a sample, or just a description of what is failing. We will reply within 2 business days with whether we can make it, how, and at what price.
