In September 2015, the management of Inventum Ukraine visited the headquarters of Allied Mineral Products (Columbus, USA) on a business visit. This company is a major global manufacturer of refractory concretes and mixes used for lining industrial furnaces of various types. During the visit, our representatives participated in the annual conference dedicated to summarizing the group’s sales results for the past marketing year, as well as the features of effective application of unshaped refractories and ready-made refractory products produced by Allied Mineral Products. Successful negotiations were also held on strengthening and expanding cooperation between our companies.
