About SP Refractories SME

SP Refractories Limited was incorporated on January 18, 2007, and began operations manufacturing refractory cement and castables. The company traces its roots to Shanark Industries, a partnership firm run by Late Sri. Prabodh Kale. After his demise, his wife Namita Kale took the business forward as promoter, along with her daughters Shweta Kale and Prajakta Kale. The company manufactures refractory material using hydrated lime, calcined alumina and other raw materials, with a core focus on refractory cement, which is a niche and high-margin product widely used in iron & steel and construction industries due to its thermal conductivity, maximum strength and heat resistance. The company operates with an installed capacity of 4,000 MTPA for clinker manufacturing and 6,000 MTPA for clinker crushing.

Business Model

The company earns revenue from manufacturing and supplying refractory cement and castables. It generates sales through continuing relationships with customers on an order-by-order basis without long-term contracts. A portion of income comes from crushing access capacity of clinkers, where the company crushes clinkers manufactured on a job-work basis or purchased from the domestic market to cater to customers.

Business Segments
