Through the 1980’s, the company incorporated a line of plastics, mortars, and cast shapes as well as becoming a distributor of fireclay, high alumina, block insulation, IFB’s and ceramic fiber. This allowed Mt. Savage to become a full service refractory supplier to the industrial market. The Mt. Savage, Maryland plant grew in capacity on a service oriented platform, being able to supply small quantities or mixed truckloads of material quickly and at very competitive prices from a single location.

In the 1990s, we introduced significant technological advancements, including self-leveling low cement castables and refractory shotcrete mixes.

In 2001, we acquired a second facility in Curwensville, Pennsylvania, to support the production of these high-tech products. This move solidified our leadership in low cement and shotcrete mixes, with further growth driven by the introduction of low cement gun mixes in the early 2000s.

In 2004 and 2005, a new line of low cement gun mixes were introduced that continue production growth at the Curwensville plant.

In 2024, we streamlined operations by consolidating into a single facility at our Curwensville, PA location. With substantial investments in plant upgrades and the addition of two new production lines, we are now fully equipped to manufacture our entire product portfolio at this high-capacity facility.

Today, Mt. Savage Specialty Refractories remains committed to delivering high-quality, innovative refractory products with a focus on exceptional service and competitive pricing.
