Yinglai Technology and RHI Magnesita Forge Strategic Partnership, Ushering in a New Era of Intelligent Equipment for Refractory Materials

In 2025, Yinglai Technology and RHI Magnesita, a global leader in the refractory materials industry, officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Tangshan, Hebei Province. The two companies will conduct in-depth joint development and global market expansion centered on Yinglai's independently developed "Automated Ladle Lining Robot," jointly accelerating the intelligent transformation of construction equipment in the refractory sector. This partnership marks the deep integration of China's industrial automation technology with international supply chains, injecting new momentum into the transformation and upgrading of global high-temperature industries.

Refractory materials serve as the core foundational components for high-temperature industries such as steel, metallurgy, and building materials, where installation quality is directly tied to production safety and costs. However, traditional refractory construction has long relied on manual labor, facing challenges including low efficiency, poor precision, and hazardous working environments. Leveraging years of accumulated expertise in industrial automation, Yinglai Technology has successfully developed a fully automated ladle lining robot, overcoming multiple technological bottlenecks in refractory construction. Meanwhile, RHI Magnesita, an industry giant with over 150 years of history, operates in more than 40 countries worldwide and holds significant market share in major global markets, backed by extensive industry resources and robust market channels. This strategic collaboration not only forges a powerful alliance between "Chinese Smart Manufacturing" and "International Resources," but also accelerates the intelligent revolution within the refractory industry. The signing ceremony was attended by Yuan Lei, General Manager of Yinglai Technology; Zhao Zhijun, Deputy General Manager; and other core executives. Representatives from RHI Magnesita included Harald Hotwagner, Vice President of Asia-Pacific; Xiao Yang, Vice President of Asia-Pacific; Tang Tian, Deputy Director of Sustainability Technology for China & Asia-Pacific; Luisa Milagre, Sustainability Technology Manager for China & Asia-Pacific; as well as representatives from government and business sectors.

This strategic partnership between Yinglai Technology and RHI Magnesita not only paves a new path for the intelligent upgrading of the traditional refractory industry but also demonstrates the innovation capabilities and international competitiveness of Chinese enterprises in the high-end equipment sector. Looking ahead, both parties will continue to deepen their cooperation, driving industrial transformation through technological breakthroughs and contributing their expertise and efforts to the high-quality development of global high-temperature industries.
