This year marks the 160th anniversary of the Calderys Group, marking a legacy that began in 1865 in Pennsylvania through the origin of HWI, the brand of the Americas region of the group.
From 1865 to today, Calderys’ journey has been shaped by people, technology and expertise, with a steadfast focus on offering innovative and customized solutions to protect the equipment of industries operating in extreme conditions.
“Our 160-year anniversary is much more than a number. It is the story of people who built, innovated, and shaped an industry that remains vital to modern life. Every step of our legacy reflects our commitment to excellence and our ability to deliver value across steel, cement, energy, petrochemical, metal casting, and many other high-temperature industries. This journey inspires us as we continue to deliver safe, efficient, and more sustainable solutions for our customers worldwide,” said Michel Cornelissen, president and CEO of Calderys.
To mark this milestone, the group is releasing a special four-part video series retracing its journey through history – from 1865 to 2025. The series highlights both key company milestones and global events, showing how refractories and other high-temperature solutions have accompanied global progress and continue to play a critical role in building the future.
A teaser video can be viewed on the Calderys YouTube channel. The company said more chapters will be released in the coming weeks.
