“A community of experts supplying customers worldwide with heat and molten metal containment technologies”

Vesuvius is a community of experts. Present around the world, we deliver refractory solutions to our customers designed directly to improve their efficiency. The services we offer encompass design and engineering, products and operations management.

Our global network of plants brings us within reach of our customers, serving them in real time, with the capacity and flexibility they need to respond to their markets’ demands.

Vesuvius was the originator of the technologies and processes it continues to deploy today. The depth and breadth of expertise acquired over the years by our engineers, in ceramics, metallurgy and steel flow control, enables them to interact as peers with their customers on all continents to define value-creating solutions, monitor their implementation and ensure their reliability over time. These solutions incorporate products developed by R&D engineers in 7 Vesuvius Research Centres worldwide.

Vesuvius is your partner of reference. This year half of the world steel production will be cast through a Vesuvius product. More than 2 gigawatts of solar panels will be made from the silicon crystallised in Vesuvius crucibles. One car out of four will be equipped with an engine cast from an aluminium alloy melted in a Vesuvius crucible.

Cooperation and transparency are at the heart of the company’s fundamental values. Vesuvius is a community of professionals who are passionate about what they do. They are ready to spare no effort in supporting their customers as partners in progress. We encourage a spirit of cooperation, mutual respect for the contribution of each and the free sharing of objectives and knowledge.

The commitment of the people of Vesuvius is its greatest asset. It is bolstered by the value we place on achievement in serving our customers.

Our commitment to safety and sustainable development in our own facilities also applies to the services we deliver to our customers at their plants in potentially dangerous but critical manufacturing processes. We give safe working practices the highest priority. They are an integral part of the drive for excellence in all our processes, which in turn ensures the quality and reliability of our products. We endeavour to bring our customers solutions that reduce their energy consumption and waste, while reducing the overall impact of our operations on the environment.

Our commitment to innovation and expertise is embodied in the emphasis we place on competencies, skills and know-how when appraising our teams’ achievements. We also firmly believe in the cross-fertilisation of knowledge and cultures, and actively encourage the mobility of our managers and experts around our operations.
Vesuvius is committed to the growth of its employees through development and training programmes designed to give them the best possible chance of success in serving out customers.
