Strategic Partnership: AFIBRE Further Expands Its HTIW Product Portfolio for Europe in Cooperation with RATH
Energy-efficient refractory linings increasingly require higher capacities of high-temperature insulation wool (HTIW) products in Europe. To meet this growing demand, we have entered into a long-term strategic partnership with the European alumina fiber manufacturer RATH.
For more than 135 years, RATH has been developing and manufacturing refractory solutions for industrial applications with the highest thermal requirements. Headquartered in Vienna, Austria, Europe, the company produces refractory products for high-temperature applications of up to 1,800°C across a wide range of industries.
Through its eight production sites in Europe, the United States, and India, RATH serves customers around the globe.

Through extensive negotiations, both companies have agreed on binding quality standards and production quantities.
Leveraging AFIBER's technical expertise in alumina fiber, deep understanding of customer needs, and well-established supply system in the domestic market, we enable RATH to continuously iterate its energy-saving refractory lining solutions, thereby consolidating and expanding its market share in Europe.
As China's first high-tech enterprise to achieve industrial production of alumina fiber, AFIBRE has consistently maintained product performance among the world's top tier. Our offerings are fully compatible and complementary with RATH's diverse high-temperature application scenarios.
We will continue to deliver stable and reliable product quality to honor the trust and confidence that RATH has placed in us.
