REFCOTEC Expands Production and Technical Operations
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
REFCOTEC Expands Production and Technical Operations to Peru to Serve the South American Market
Orrville, Ohio — March 2, 2026 — REFCOTEC has expanded refractory coating production and commercial operations to Peru, establishing a regional base outside of Lima to support customers across South America.
Peru’s industrial economy — including its globally significant mining sector — represents a strong and sustained driver of iron and steel casting demand. The Peru-based operation strengthens REFCOTEC’s ability to serve local foundries while positioning the company to support broader regional markets as demand continues to develop.
The Peru operation provides locally produced refractory coating systems supported by in-country distribution and technical engagement. These products have demonstrated performance in demanding casting environments, including large-section and high-thermal-load applications where surface integrity and consistency are critical.
By establishing production capacity within South America, REFCOTEC enhances:
- Regional supply reliability
- Reduced lead times
- Technical alignment with local sand systems and operating conditions
- Scalable support for expanding market demand
REFCOTEC continues to grow its sales presence in Peru while expanding the range of products available throughout the region. Additional refractory coatings, mold and core adhesives, and specialty foundry consumables from the company’s broader portfolio are being introduced to support long-term market development across South America.
“South America represents an important growth region for REFCOTEC,” said Collin DeWood, Vice President of REFCOTEC. “Peru is a strong industrial market and a logical operational base. From there, we are positioned to support the broader region with proven products and technical involvement where performance matters.”
