We are advanced comprehensive ceramics entity with the technology of “Mastering Heat”.
Heat is something that is indispensable to the enrichment of our lives.
Since ancient times, people have created vessels, mastered fire and heat, created materials from the resources of the earth, and generated energy.
Throughout this process, ceramics have always existed as an indispensable element to all of that.
For over these 100 years,we have created value by "mastering heat", ensuring stable, reliable quality even under the ultra-high temperatures of the earth and the extremely low temperatures of outer space.
We will continue to share the value we co-create through our business activities with all stakeholders and remain committed to building a sustainable society,
in line with our Purpose and Vision – “mastering heat, empowering industries, and creating a brighter future”.

Steel
The melting point of iron is 1,538℃. The path through which molten iron and glass pass, as well as the receptacle, must be made of a material that can withstand both high temperatures and chemical erosion. We support the world's steel industry by manufacturing refractory products that take advantage of the heat resistant properties of ceramics, as well as design and construct industrial furnaces that use these refractories.
Energy conservation and the environment
We design and construct incinerators with excellent waste heat recovery, supply and construct refractories for biomass generation plants, supply heat insulating materials for ENE-FARM, contribute to improving the safety of lithium-ion batteries by providing heat insulating materials and market landscape materials that provide heat control. As a whole, our products and solutions contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions in society.
Electronics
Mobile phones have become an integral part of our lives in today's society. Our products are used to fire laminated ceramic capacitors which are essential in the manufacture of mobile phones. We also design and produce liquid crystal display manufacturing equipment that meets the needs of our customers by using our knowledge of heat calculations and applications from our work in refractory manufacturing.
Medical and Space
The fine ceramics manufactured by our company are more rigid than metals, have high hardness, low expansion and are light in weight, and can be processed with high precision. These ceramics demonstrate excellent characteristics as parts for ultra-precision equipment. In recent years, we have expanded into the field of space with structural parts for satellites and optical parts for Earth observation and optical data communication satellites, and are refining our technology so that we can contribute to society using our technology in new ways.
