IMFORMED is delighted to announce a new online Forum for the refractory raw materials industry.

Refractory Minerals Forum 2021 ONLINE, 16-17 March 2021

Let’s keep in contact & conversation!

All registered delegates will receive a complimentary new edition of IMFORMED’s Refractory Raw Material World Sources Map® – details here

The pandemic of 2020 sharply exposed the vulnerability of refractory mineral supply chains, the “essentially” and “criticality” of certain commodities, and impacted primary consuming markets.

The world refractories market, like all others, has had to swiftly adjust to the prevailing market conditions.

Looking ahead, the industry needs to reassess its outlook for survival and meeting the needs of its evolving markets. This includes:

  • Exploration and development of new mineral sources

  • Strategies on mineral sourcing by consumers

  • Development and utilisation of synthetic minerals

  • Increased evolution and use of recycled materials

  • Corporate restructuring and consolidation

  • Vertical integration and diversification

  • Greater collaboration between suppliers and consumers

  • Achieving low CO2 emissions

Refractory Minerals Forum 2021 ONLINE will bring together a panel of industry experts to present, discuss, and network with international attendees from across the refractory raw material supply chain.

Until we can meet in-person, Refractory Minerals Forum 2021 ONLINE will be the next most invaluable opportunity to get together first hand with leading players active in refractory raw material:

  • Exploration

  • Development

  • Production

  • Processing

  • Trading

  • Logistics

  • Purchasing

  • Application in refractories
