Mobile, AL Industries We Serve

Applied Refractory supplies industrial equipment and refractory materials to facilities across every major sector of the Mobile industrial market:

       AM/NS Calvert Steel Mill (ArcelorMittal / Nippon Steel Joint Venture): AM/NS Calvert operates one of the most advanced flat-rolled steel plants in the US in Mobile County, with a river terminal, hot strip mill, cold rolling mill, hot dip galvanizing lines, rail yard, and a new electric arc furnace nearing completion. EAF steelmaking, ladle metallurgy, and hot rolling require refractory linings for ladles and furnace vessels subject to high thermal cycling.

       ArcelorMittal Calvert Electrical Steel Facility (Under Construction): ArcelorMittal is investing $1.2 billion in a new NOES electrical steel manufacturing facility in Mobile County, with construction beginning in the second half of 2025 and production anticipated in 2027. This facility will include annealing lines, cold rolling mills, and coating lines requiring industrial furnace insulation and refractory systems for heat treatment of specialty steel products.

       Port of Mobile and Industrial Logistics: The Port of Mobile is one of the largest ports on the US Gulf Coast, supporting steel, bulk materials, and industrial cargo. Port-adjacent industrial operations, fabrication facilities, and maritime manufacturing operations require ceramic fiber insulation and refractory materials for industrial furnaces and process equipment.

       Aerospace Manufacturing (Airbus): Airbus's US final assembly facility in Mobile, producing the A319, A320, and A321 aircraft, represents significant heat treating demand for aluminum and specialty metal components requiring ceramic fiber insulation systems for precise temperature control in aerospace manufacturing applications.

       Power Generation and Chemical Processing: Industrial power generation and chemical processing facilities in the Mobile area require refractory linings and ceramic fiber insulation for combustion chambers, boilers, and process equipment. Applied Refractory supplies IFBs, castable refractories, and ceramic fiber products for these applications.
