Innovation
Vesuvius’ R&D organisation has been a major factor in maintaining our technology leadership position.

At the forefront of innovation
Our developments in VISO™ isostatic pressing technology and in slide gate systems were key enablers of the continuous casting process now deployed throughout the whole of the steel industry.

Businesses
Customised innovative technology.

The Steel Division
Vesuvius is a global leader in molten metal flow engineering. We achieve this by working closely with our customers to develop customised refractories, systems, services and technologies that enable them to improve their performance. The three businesses that comprise the Steel division are Steel Flow Control, Advanced Refractories and Technical Services.

The Foundry Division
Our Foundry division trades under the Foseco brand, and generates about 30% of total Group revenue. Foseco is a world-renowned name that has become a by-word for reliability, technology and service in the supply of consumable products and associated services to the foundry industry.

Values
The behaviours we champion are encapsulated in our CORE values.
