The global refractories market size is projected to reach a worth of USD 43.20 billion by 2027. The rising population, especially in developing countries such as India, China and Brazil have encouraged governments and investors to focus on infrastructure development for provisioning safe housing and related infrastructure facilities. The metallurgical industries face a major setback in running uninterrupted production facilities due to irregularity of the timely delivery of refractory materials.
This also increases their input cost as delayed supply of refractories or other industrial resources increases the inventory carrying cost. High interest cost in India makes competition for Indian manufacturer difficult in global markets. The 40% refractory raw materials are imported, and profitability in business is dependent on managing supply chains effectively.
Maintaining agreed timeliness of delivery of the products is a primary matter of concern in the refractory industry to maintain the production continuity of user industries. Hence, it has become necessary to strategize the supply chain of refractories in such a way so that the materials can be dispatched on time. Vishva Vishal Refractory Limited (Formerly known as Vishva Vishal Engineering Limited) came into existence in 1989 to produce quality products.
Company has been in existence for more than 30 years of experience in refractory manufacturing while ensuring timely procurement to their clients with a centralized management and logistics management system. VVRL served more than 245 customers worldwide and has presence in South Africa, USA, Spain, Italy and Bangladesh.
