6th Conference Refractory and Chimney Engineering

This expert conference is an integral part of the founding idea of dgfs to train expert personnel, conduct research and development in the field refractories and chimney engineering, enhance techniques and focus on innovations. It is our intention to present gained expertise to a wide spectrum of experts. The overarching exhibition GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST is the ideal platform for what we want to present.

For over 34 years dgfs has been successful with their task forces, training groups, publication of technical documentation and recommendations to spearhead technical progress in the refractories and chimney engineering sectors for German-speaking regions. dgfs specifically focuses on recognizing technological trends leading to changes affecting the member companies in order to assist and support them. All this we do partly in cooperation with universities and other professional associations.

The international recognition of dgfs is proven by the fact that reference books and training documentation, which serve as training materials for young professionals, have been translated into other languages to be used in other countries.

All these successes would not have been possible without the intensive and unpaid cooperation and secondment of specialists for the task forces by the member companies of the dgfs. From this point of view alone, the dgfs has a special role, in which companies have been so strongly committed to the continuous development and improvement of an essential sector for industrial nations.
