«We have succeeded well in making the refractory industry more visible overall and strengthening the networks with other associations, to give our political demands more power,» summarized Ulf Frohneberg and looked ahead: «We need reliable framework conditions for the conversion to CO2 reduction. In these dynamic times, it is important for our industry to clarify its relevance for many industrial processes. At the same time, the changing conditions on the raw material, energy and freight markets offer opportunities for the German and European refractory industry that need to be exploited.”
