For more than 35 years, FRC Global has stood at the forefront of innovation and reliability in the refractory industry. But our true foundation isn’t just built on products — it’s built on people.

“The biggest advantage we provide, without a doubt, is the people that work here,” said Julie Lord, president and CEO. “Whether it’s our unmatched engineers, knowledgeable sales team, or our skilled operations staff, we have a group of exceptional people who are empowered to find solutions in new and better ways.”

From the bold vision of our founder to the next generation leading us forward, every chapter of our journey has been shaped by individuals who bring passion, expertise, and heart to their work. These are the engineers who solve complex challenges, the leaders who inspire progress, and the pioneers who push boundaries every day.

We’re proud to be a company that goes where the work matters most, with teams working across diverse environments — from steel mills to shipping hubs — who are always committed to delivering excellence. And our people don’t do it alone. Our legacy is strengthened by the trusted partners we work with, who help us deliver quality, consistency, and care in everything we do.

As we continue on our next 35 years, we honor the people who power our progress. Their dedication fuels our success and carries our legacy into the future. Because behind every milestone, every innovation, and every solution, there’s a person — and a team — who made it possible.
