What sets us apart
European manufacturer of refractory materials
Our products are made in Poland, in the heart of Europe. We produce dense, standard, insulating concretes and refractory concrete prefabricates to withstand high temperatures. We benefit from the European Union's single market and unified tax, customs, and legal systems. This guarantees you legal protection in transactions, while the EU's tax and customs systems ensure stability and predictability of costs.
Support at every stage of maintenance
We handle the maintenance projects from the early stages of technical design, from producing goods to installing refractory linings. Managing one supplier instead of several means less time spent on coordination and communication. This also means fewer misunderstandings, errors, and delays, which is crucial in projects of business significance.
Full logistical support
We know how to safely and timely deliver products with high-temperature mechanical properties and chemical composition anywhere in the world. We offer road, rail, container, and even air transport. We will also choose the appropriate packaging method according to the type of freight and assist with import and export matters to ensure compliance with the local customs and tax system.

Key facts & figures
Why should you switch from your current refractory materials supplier to PCO Żarów?
Working with inventory made it easier
Our clients receive analytical Support in forecasting volumes and critical timelines. For planned maintenance, we reserve production capacities to make deliveries on time. We can store finished products within our facility for an agreed period, in a 'call-off' warehouse formula, or maintain an emergency stock.
Carry over the terms made with your current supplier
We understand that changing suppliers in such a critical area as refractory ceramics for a furnace can bring specific challenges. We tailor our offer – product technical specification, packaging, labeling, and trade terms – to the conditions worked out with your current supplier to make the change as straightforward as possible.
Quality of every delivered batch confirmed by an ISO-compliant certificate
Our products are made according to specifications agreed beforehand with the client. For every delivery, we issue an internationally recognized (compliant with ISO and ASTM standards) set of documents certifying the product's conformity with the order.
Product selection tailored for the actual application conditions
Thanks to our expertise in the design and assembly of refractory linings, we can assist clients in selecting the most optimal solutions resistant to high temperatures. We look for solutions that fit your budget and maintenance schedule but, first and foremost – suit the operation conditions of the furnace.
Cause analysis of the refractory materials wear and failure
In our laboratory, we can study used refractory ceramics by taking samples of the old lining after its operation in the device. This enables us to determine the factors that critically impacted the lining and assess whether the installed product was suitable for such an environment.
Fixed price guarantee for planned maintenance
We understand how challenging it can be to budget for the maintenance of high-temperature equipment. Having established long-term relationships with our trusted suppliers of services, raw materials, and refractory clays, we extend the same stability to our customers by setting long-term, fixed product prices. This approach aids in the hassle-free planning of material purchases and budgeting maintenance costs.
