• Resumen

  • Gardanne, France-based Alteo is a leading supplier of speciality alumina products to the global refractories and ceramics industries, but its main focus is on abrasives, as it seeks to capitalise pockets of "tightness" in supply. In order to take advantage of slim opportunities in what is a fiercely competitive market, the company has had to reinvent itself as a business with a reputation for reliability and consistency, Diego Audemard, commercial director for Alteo ARC Fused Aluminas, told IM.

    Our main focus is on abrasives and ceramics. Refractories are important to our speciality products line (zirconia alumina 25%, nitrides and bubble alumina) and allows us to run our plants close to full capacity on standard brown fused alumina (BFA) and white fused alumina (WFA) grades.
