Polysius Further Strengthens Sinter and Lime Kiln Business
Polysius AG (Beckum, Germany) has entered into the field of high temperature kilns for producing sintered magnesia, dolomite and alumina, as well as multiple hearth furnaces for calcining fine-grained raw materials and slurries. This follows the earlier acquisition of Maerz Ofenbau AG (Zurich, Switzerland) and RCE Industrieofenbau Engineering GmbH (Radenthein, Austria).
Over the years RCE has achieved an excellent reputation in the sinter industry and is claimed today to be the clear technology and market leader in this sector. In order to further strengthen this field of business and to focus on the technical development as well as expanding the use of these kiln types into various other applications in the minerals industry, this business unit will be concentrated at Polysius’ headquarters in Beckum, as from 1 May 2009.
Polysius’ designation of Maerz Ofenbau AG as the group’s centre for all lime activities is rounded off by the concentration of RCE’s lime kiln range at the Maerz headquarters in Zurich.
With this embedding of RCE’s know-how and technology into Polysius and Maerz, the enduring development of RCE’s product range is guaranteed and customers will continue to benefit from high technical competence and first class service.
