Global Expansion Calderys maintains a global footprint across more than thirty countries and is expanding with new offices and capability centers in Asia, including Pune, India. This breadth enables a localized end-to-end refractory supply and service model for new plant builds and expansions, particularly in high-temperature industries in Asia. Leverage the global network to offer turnkey solutions and reliable after-sales support through the HWI presence in the Americas as well as Calderys' own plants.

Decarbonization Focus Calderys is actively supporting energy transition efforts with involvement in EU funded decarbonization initiatives and developing thermal energy storage solutions. This positions Calderys to engage with steelmakers and other energy-intensive customers seeking lower carbon refractories and improved energy efficiency for high-temperature processes. Sales opportunities include partnering on decarbonization roadmaps and bundling materials with services for heat management and sustainability reporting.

Innovation Capabilities Recent launches such as CALDE FD and the new innovation center near Neuwied demonstrate Calderys' focus on advanced refractory technology and co-development with customers. This creates opportunities to upsell performance improvements, faster furnace cycles, and reduced maintenance through new materials and processes. Position Calderys as an R&D partner for new plant projects and modernization initiatives.

Foundry Partnerships Strategic collaboration with Acetarc extends Calderys capabilities in ladle design and metallurgy, enabling joint offers to foundries and casting operations. This strengthens cross-sell potential across shaping, molding, and metal casting processes with integrated refractory and ladle solutions. Use partnerships to win multi-site commitments and to provide continuity of supply across regions via Calderys and HWI networks.

Digital Advantage Calderys technology stack including SAP FICO, SCADA and data analytics supports digital monitoring, predictive maintenance and performance dashboards for customers. There is an opportunity to sell digital-enabled service agreements and inventory optimization, reducing downtime and material waste. Position as a data-driven partner that helps customers track refractory life cycles, energy usage and maintenance planning.
