China Testing & Certification International Group Co., Ltd. (CTC, Stock Code 603060) originated from the testing and certification business of China Building Materials Academy in the 1950s. After 70 years of unremitting efforts and persistent pursuit, the company has formed five business categories: detection and testing, certification and evaluation, testing instruments and intelligent manufacturing, measurement and calibration, scientific research and technical services, committed to providing customers with technical services and comprehensive solutions of detection and testing, certification and evaluation, appraisal, consultation, training, and instruments and equipment in fields of quality, environmental protection, green, safety, health, and energy conservation.

The production and application of dense shaped refractories in China can be traced back to the mid-to-late 20th century. Entering the 21st century, with the upgrading of domestic industrial structures and the rapid development of high-temperature industries such as steel, cement, and glass, dense shaped refractory products for kiln linings became the core driving force for industry development. In recent years, technological upgrades in industries such as metallurgy and building materials, the emergence of high-temperature equipment for new energy sectors (e.g., lithium batteries, hydrogen energy), and special demand peaks have propelled the dense shaped refractory product industry into a new round of rapid development. Since 2015, the industry's average annual growth rate has consistently exceeded 20%, making China the world's largest producer and consumer market for refractory products.
We have a professional R&D and testing team, offering customized product performance evaluation and optimization solutions to help your product stand out amidst market homogeneity.
