An Englishman Henry Turner discovered MAGNESITE at Salem, in India, in the year 1890, marking the beginning of the Basic Refractory Industry in India.
Open cast mining of Magnesite began and the first woodfired kiln for calcining magnesite was put into operation and the calcined Magnesite was exported to the U.K.
Subsequently the Burn Standard established facilities for Dead Burning Magnesite and to manufacture basic refractory bricks to cater to the nascent steel industry in India and assay material for export.
The company registered further growth after Govt. of India took over the plant in 1976 and put through a programme of Modernisation and Expansion in order to meet the growing demand of high quality Basic Refractory of the modern Indian steel plants, non-ferrous, cement and glass industries, registering phenomenal growth.
The present facilities of the company include captive mines of high quality deposits of Low Silica Magnesite using modern earth moving equipment. 150 TPD Rotary Kilns for dead burning Magnesite, high capacity Hydraulic Brick Presses and 1750 deg. C high temperature, High Tech Tunnel Kiln with complete range of support facilities. The activities are guided by a vibrant R&D set-up to keep pace with the rapid changes taking place worldwide in the field of Refractories.
