Sectors We Serve
SIX INDUSTRIES. ONE PARTNER.
Demolition · Design · Supply · Installation · Maintenance
Founded in Cluj-Napoca in 1994, Izoref has grown into a multi-entity European group. We integrate materials supply and installation services to operate as a true full-service partner — one contract, one accountable team across the entire refractory lifecycle.
Headquarters and primary operating entity. Field operations, project management, materials supply, and commercial activity across Romania and Eastern Europe. Warehouse & depot in Baciu, Cluj. New HQ under permit on str. Triajului.
German subsidiary registered at Hoffmannweg 11A, 70186 Stuttgart. Dedicated to technical sales and project execution across the DACH region — Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Led by Katrin Kursch, Technical Sales Manager.
Iberian Peninsula operational and expansion vehicle. Positioned to serve the growing industrial refractory market in Portugal and Spain, leveraging Izoref's established European track record.
Izoref covers the entire refractory lifecycle — demolition, design, supply, installation, and maintenance. One contract, one accountable team. No coordination between separate contractors.
Led by Dipl.-Ing. Kalman Keresztes with deep refractory expertise. Our team engages at engineering level — preparing execution schedules, reviewing drawings, proposing material alternatives, adapting on-site.
Active operations in Romania, Germany, Belgium, Croatia, Greece, France, Sweden, Portugal, Slovakia, and Serbia. Three legal entities. Clients never manage international logistics or legal complexity.
Holcim, CRH, HAI Aluminium, ArcelorMittal, SSAB, thyssenkrupp Steel, ELVAL — long-term, repeat relationships. These clients require reliability, technical competence, and compliance. We deliver all three.
Premium international brands alongside a cost-competitive own-import product line. The right solution for each client's budget and specification — without being locked into a single supplier.
In 2026, Izoref entered a structured development programme co-financed by the EBRD (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development) — an institutional signal of the company's trajectory and readiness for international growth.
From controlled demolition of worn linings to turnkey installation and planned maintenance — Izoref covers every phase so you don't coordinate multiple contractors.
Brick lining, casting, gunning and shotcrete application for industrial furnaces, kilns, steel ladles, preheaters, grate coolers, WHR boilers, and dosing furnaces. New construction and replacement of worn linings. Own prefabricated shapes from our Cluj-Napoca workshop.
Complete thermal insulation systems for high-temperature processes. Ceramic fiber blankets, boards, modules, mastic coatings, and FlexJoint flexible ceramic components. Applications across aluminum holding furnaces, industrial boilers, and cement plant bypass systems.
Controlled removal of worn refractory linings in cement plants, aluminum smelters, steel ladles, and boilers. Full demolition campaigns including waste handling and site cleanup. Available as primary contractor or specialist subcontractor.
Planned maintenance and emergency repair campaigns. Izoref responds to scheduled turnaround windows as well as unplanned outages — mobilizing teams and materials on short notice. Aluminum smelters, automotive foundries, steel processors, cement producers.
Distribution of refractory and insulation materials under premium international brands (Promat, Thermbond, Magneco-Metrel, Alkegen, Allied Minerals) and Izoref's own cost-competitive import line. Matched to client technical requirements and temperature ratings.
Refractory engineering, lining design, material selection, anchor layout, and steel substructures. Our Dipl.-Ing. technical team prepares execution schedules, reviews drawings, proposes material alternatives, and adapts on-site. ISO 9001 certified quality management.
