Early Beginnings
Founded in 1975, Mt. Savage Specialty Refractories began as a supplier of dry specialty products from our original plant in Mt. Savage, Maryland. Initially focused on conventional and insulating castables, we expanded in the 1980s to include plastics, mortars, cast shapes, and a wide range of refractory materials, establishing ourselves as a full-service supplier to the industrial market.
As demand grew, our Mt. Savage plant expanded to offer fast, efficient service for both small orders and mixed truckloads—all at competitive prices.
More Materials
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.
The 90's
In the 1990s, we introduced significant technological advancements, including self-leveling low cement castables and refractory shotcrete mixes.
Into the 21st Century
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.
Production Growth
In 2004 and 2005, a new line of low cement gun mixes were introduced that continue production growth at the Curwensville plant.
