Refratechnik celebrates its 75th anniversary
With the founding of Steinwerke Feuerfest Karl Albert in Vogelbeck near Göttingen in 1950, the success story of the now globally active Refratechnik Group, now headquartered in Munich, began.
In 2025, the company employs more than 2,100 people worldwide in the refractory and raw materials industry and is celebrating its 75th anniversary. To mark this special occasion, Refratechnik Cement GmbH is organizing an open day at the Göttingen plant on June 21, 2025 – where it all began.
