What Alsical Hüttenwerkstechnik GmbH does

Alsical Hüttenwerkstechnik GmbH is a German metallurgical specialty manufacturer founded in 1993 and headquartered in Großdubrau, Saxony. The company produces casting powders, granules, insulating and exothermic covering agents, and metallurgical slags used in iron and steel production, serving steelworks and foundries across Germany and Europe. Its product portfolio is organized under five registered brands — ALSIFLUX (continuous casting powders/granules for various steel grades), ALSICAST (block casting powders/granules for carbon, alloyed, and stainless steels), ALSICOVER (insulating covering masses for ladle and distributor), LUNKERTHERM (exothermic covering agents for block casting), and ALSITOP (metallurgical slags for steel refining). Production uses two spray dryers with 20,000 t/year combined capacity, a 1,000 t/year powder mixer, and slurry production up to 25 tons per batch; a spray tower built in 2017 uses modern process technology for stable quality.

Since 2013, Alsical has operated as a 100% subsidiary of INTOCAST AG, a larger German refractory products manufacturer, and is positioned as a member of the INTOCAST Group of Experts. The company holds DIN ISO 9001 quality management certification and DIN ISO 50001 energy management certification (introduced 2015).
