Feuerfeste Jobs
Im Europäischen Feuerfest-Zentrum arbeiten vier Unternehmen für die gemeinsamen Interessen und die Zukunft der Feuerfest-Branche: Wirtschaftsvertretung, Materialprüfung, Forschung und Seminarveranstaltungen.
- Feuerfeste Produkte sind in der Öffentlichkeit eher kaum bekannt. Für den Einsatz in Herstellprozessen mit Temperaturen von weit über 1.800 Grad sind sie allerdings „systemrelevant“.
- Feuerfeste Produkte sind essenzielle Werkstoffe, ohne die andere Industriebranchen wie Stahl, Aluminium oder Glas, wie die Chemische Industrie oder Raffinerien nicht mehr produzieren könnten.
Für die Hersteller dieser Feuerfest-Produkte arbeiten wir in einer einzigartigen Bürogemeinschaft. Die ECREF gGmbH ist ein Seminarveranstalter, betreibt das Gebäude der Gemeinschaft und leistet verschiedene Servicefunktionen für die anderen Unternehmen.
Wenn Sie diese Zukunft mitgestalten möchten, freuen wir uns darauf, Sie kennenzulernen.

The International Colloquium on Refractories ICR® is a world-renowned event held annually in the city of Aachen. Last year, we were delighted to welcome over 700 participants to the scientific conference and the accompanying trade fair.
This confirms the ICR's position as the leading event for the refractory industry in Europe and at the same time as a social event.
Now we are looking forward to meet the refractories experts for purchasing/sales, raw materials and production, machine equipment and accessories, as well as the executives from research and development and the qualified young professionals from universities and institutes.
Of course, we also expect that our customers from the steel, cement or glass industry and from other sectors are present, too. All the participants will exchange knowledge and experience. They will gather new contacts and cultivate their network.
