Update of IFEX 2015 - 11th edition of International Exhibition on Foundry Technology, Equipment, Supplies, Services and 6th edition of Cast India Expo

The recent IFEX show attended by Capital Refractories Ltd India proved to be another successful Indian foundry exhibition for the group with record inquiries for our products and services. Mr Karl Szulakowski (Country Manager India) and Mr James Newsome (Managing Director) along with the whole of the Indian sales staff.

The show was held over three days with an excellent attendance from the Indian foundry and steel making sectors throughout India.

Capital Refractories Ltd are predominantly known for manufacturing Spinel Induction Furnace Linings, however we took the opportunity at IFEX 2015 to showcase some of our other innovative products:

Samples of our extensive range of Gas Diffusers were exhibited at the show, CRL manufacture a complete range of Gas Diffusers for various sectors including coreless induction furnaces, aluminium melting and holding furnaces and steel ladle treatment. A number of requests for trials from all sectors for the range has been received by both existing and new potential customers. We anticipate trials throughout 2015.

Our Patented Unibore nozzle system, a two piece multiple use bottom pour ladle nozzle system was exhibited, with significant interest from a number of foundry managers looking to increase casting quality and reduce ladle inventory. The Unibore system has already been successfully trialled in India with a number of steel ladles converted over to the system, we anticipate more trials of the system in India following the enquiries generated at the show

Many of our existing customers visited our stand to discuss current business and expressed interest in some of our other product developments discussed above, as well as a number of other overseas customers.

The show had over 15000 visitors, Capital Refractories welcomed many of these visitors and had over 500 inquiries, of which 150 are new from foundry and steelplant management throughout India. The inquiries and trial requests are now being followed up by our Indian technical sales team.

The show was a great success and we look forward to meeting attendees from this years show, and new ones at IFEX 2016 in Coimbatore.
