PUE «ArmFundStroy», LLC «Refralit» and EE «Gomel State Technical University named after P.O. Sukhoi» united and organized an industrial «Cluster for the production of refractories» in the Zhlobin region,

The cluster initiative «Creation of a Cluster for the Production of Refractories» was financially supported by the international technical assistance project «Support for Local Economic Development in the Republic of Belarus» in the purchase of equipment for 3D modeling, industrial equipment for the production of refractory cement based on recycled materials, as well as training in the production of refractories for employees of cluster enterprises.

Today, the initiative has tested or put into production 10 innovative and high-tech refractory products for metallurgy, mechanical engineering, and the glass industry. Such large enterprises as the Mogilev Automobile Plant of the BelAZ Holding company, OJSC «The Belarusian Metallurgical Plant» and others have already become customers of pilot batches.
