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. Company have multiple quality checkpoints before the dispatch of the products to the customers.
Quality Assurance

VVRL Tundish Black Refractories (CCR) in 2003 that
comprises ladle shroud, sub entry nozzle, mono block stopper and tundish nozzle. With the facility of gas purging and antioxidant properties they manufacture silica free oxy-bore ladle shroud for less corrosion and long sequence casting.
They have a comprehensive range of slide gate refractory products of all grades and shapes suitable for every specified need of refractories including saflow slide plate, 1QC & 2QC slide plates, 4200 & 6300 slide plates and new generation slide plates. The well filler mixes of VVRL ensures free opening as well as protection for slide gate system against the melt.
The top-hole sleeves are made from mixture of fused magnesia and graphite compacted into a dense form by using high capacity press and high spalling resistance. VVRL has tied up with MAK for their materials and applications regarding ceramic welding and offers economic efficiency to the user enterprises. VVRL centralized management team has enabled them to run 97.3% on time delivery in the last financial year.
Manoj Sharma, Executive Director of Vishva Vishal Refractory Limited adds, “We have a fairly large customer base and address needs of the customer through services in short time. We have been troubleshooting the customer sites with our application experience and knowledge to ensure uninterrupted performance. There are instances from the customers that the mechanical issues arising in Total Tundish Management system never go unidentified or unresolved. We work jointly with end user and it helps us evolve an innovative solution at customer sites. We have been generating maximum number of bonuses in the recent times at a Public sector Steel plant”.
Future Roadmap
Mr. Manoj Sharma further states, “We have plans to expand both the factories in next few years. In the next five years we need to improve quality and number of products being offered to our regular and new customers. Consistency and performance is to be demonstrated to our customers to ensure repeat business and maintain a position in top 5 refractory companies in India.
