Stefan Borgas, CEO of RHI Magnesita, said: “Today’s London listing is the beginning of our journey as RHI Magnesita, the clear global industry leader in refractory products and services. Our focus now is to complete the integration, build the business in regions and products where we don’t have a significant presence, and use our combined best in class technological know-how to find new solutions for our customers.
“We are starting this journey with the best and most passionate people in the industry who are committed to work together to deliver the planned synergies, generate strong cash flow and deleverage the balance sheet thereby creating value for all our stakeholders. I am excited about the future of RHI Magnesita and the role we can play in the future of the refractory industry.”
