Vertical Integration

Most refractory makers buy their raw magnesia on volatile, China-dominated markets. We own the chain — from the ore to your furnace.

One roof, ore to refractory.

Vertical integration is KONREF's core advantage. We control roughly half of Türkiye's natural magnesite reserves and produce our own Dead Burned Magnesia (DBM) on our rotary kiln — then convert it into finished brick and monolithics in our own plants.

Owned magnesite reserves

~50% of Türkiye's natural magnesite, mined and controlled in-house — the starting point of every product.

Dead Burned Magnesia

We sinter our own DBM on a rotary kiln — 50,000 t/yr — for consistent, high-purity raw material.

Brick & monolithics

150,000 t/yr of shaped brick and 80,000 t/yr of unshaped mixes, spec-matched to your furnace.

Continuity, quality and supply security — built in.

  • Continuity of supply — no dependence on third-party magnesia traders.
  • Consistent quality — the same controlled raw material in every batch.
  • Cost control — value captured across the chain, not lost to middlemen.
  • A non-China, traceable source — increasingly important for EU and US buyers de-risking their refractory supply.

Secure a traceable refractory supply.
