We are very much looking forward to exhibiting at the Ceramics UK exhibition and conference both today and tomorrow! Ceramics UK 2019 is the UK’s premier trade show and conference for the ceramics industry and is actually the only free event of its kind in Europe.

Therser UK are delighted to announce that we will be exhibiting at Ceramics UK 2019 on the 10^th and 11^th of July.

Kiln and furnace specialist Therser UK Ltd is gearing up for a double celebration – after landing a major contract with ceramics manufacturer Churchill China in its 10th year in business.

Stoke-on-Trent-based Therser UK secured the contract – which is one of its largest orders in the past few years - for the manufacture and installation of a new, 48-metre fast-fire tunnel kiln.

To some, it is known as Stoke-on-Trent. A cosy 36 square miles of industrial history, with a characteristically unassuming name that simply means ‘place on the river’.

There has been significant interest in our latest welding standards accreditation to BS.EN.ISO 9606-1, and at Therser we are now fully into the flow. BS.EN.ISO 9606-1 is a demanding certification that enables us to guarantee the best quality for equally demanding sectors.

Tuesday 19th March 2019 was a special day for us. Apart from being officially the last day of winter, it was also the day we celebrated 10 years in business. A lot changes in 10 years and it’s good to take stock and think about how far we’ve come and what our team have achieved in this time.

We are delighted to welcome Andrew Wildblood to our team as our latest Commissioning Engineer. Andrew is a highly skilled professional with 40 years’ experience in the industry and is well known in the sector for his skill and expertise! It’s a pleasure to have him on board and we look forward to working with him to further strengthen our commissioning team.

Following a busy year of growth, Therser are now the UK’s largest specialist manufacturer of industrial kilns and furnaces! Changes in the industry and investment in new manufacturing facilities have enabled us to diversify and increase the range of projects we can take on.

Any industrial equipment that uses high levels of energy must be a contributor to carbon dioxide emissions and is, therefore, part of the problem when it comes to climate change – or so conventional wisdom would dictate.

The hellish conditions of an industrial kiln may at first seem the least likely environment for manufacturing something as intricate and delicate as a smartphone. However, the average smartphone contains around 200 individual ceramic parts, all of which require firing in an industrial furnace. Transition-metal oxide based ceramics fulfil an important role in smartphones and can be found in a number of components. It’s true to say that contemporary smartphones would be radically different without ceramic parts!
