Wear protection specialist Kalenborn has reached its 100 year milestone in making plant components resistant to abrasion.

Co-founded by Dr Kurt Mauritz and based in Vettelschoss, Germany, the business entity that began in 1921 as Schmelzbasalt AG has evolved over 100 years to become a successful family-run firm with 600 employees, 12 companies and 25 distributors on five continents.

Expertise in the production of fused cast basalt as a mineral material has been extended to metallic and ceramic materials, as well as technical plastics and compounds, to form a broad range of wear-resistant products.

“One hundred years of Kalenborn – that means 100 years in constant motion. This jubilee fills all of us at Kalenborn with joy and pride and motivates us for the future” enthused Dr Conrad Mauritz, Managing Director. “Kalenborn wouldn’t be the successful company that it is today without its customers and employees” he added. “They deserve special thanks for their trust and dedication.”

In the spirit of celebration Kalenborn is offering its customers and partners a special deal on protective hardening compound KALCRET for plant components and piping systems, along with free training for installation.
