Zakłady Magnezytowe Ropczyce S.A.

Zakłady Magnezytowe ROPCZYCE S.A. is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of high-quality refractory materials – basic and aluminosilicate products that line furnaces and thermal equipment operating at extreme temperatures. Its products are essential to processes in iron and steel metallurgy, non-ferrous metallurgy, and the cement, lime, glass, foundry and coke-making industries.

The plant’s history dates back to the 1970s: construction began in 1971, production started in 1976 and full capacity was reached in 1978. In 1997 the company – among the first in its industry – implemented an ISO 9001 quality management system and debuted on the main market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, where it remains listed today. The ROPCZYCE Capital Group was created in 2001 and privatisation was completed in 2004.

The company runs its own Research & Development Centre, offers comprehensive technical support – from material selection through supervision to lining-performance analysis – and consistently introduces innovative solutions for demanding global customers. Its business is complemented by community engagement (the Magnezyty Foundation) and sustainability reporting. For the non-ferrous sector, ROPCZYCE is a partner supplying materials critical to the reliability and energy efficiency of metallurgical furnaces. The company is headquartered in Warsaw, with its main production plant in Ropczyce, south-eastern Poland.
