Trent Refractories CEO Katy Moss will be in attendance at the 19th Unified International Technical Conference on Refractories (UNITECR) taking place October 27–30, 2025, at the JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa in Cancún, Mexico. UNITECR 2025. Organised by the Latin American Association of Refractories Manufacturers (ALAFAR), UNITECR is a biennial gathering of researchers, engineers, manufacturers, and end-users in the global refractories community.
Theme & Strategic Focus
The official theme for 2025 is “Sustainability Meets Intelligence – Shaping the Future of Refractories.” The aim is to bring together two major drivers in the industry:
- Sustainability: addressing environmental responsibility, circular economy approaches (recycling, waste minimisation, material reuse), energy efficiency, emissions control.
- Intelligence / Digitalisation: leveraging data, AI, machine learning, predictive modeling, smart monitoring, and other digital tools to optimise refractory performance across the full life cycle (from raw materials, processing, installation, operation to end-of-life).
By weaving these threads, UNITECR 2025 aims to address both the challenges and opportunities of modern refractories: how to make them greener, smarter, longer lasting, more cost-effective, and more integrated with industrial systems. UNITECR continues to serve as the premier global technical forum for the refractory community. Attendees can expect to:
- Gain insights into the latest developments in materials, processes, digital tools, sustainability, and new applications.
- Connect and network with leading experts, manufacturers, service providers, and end users.
- Showcase technologies, innovations, and solutions through exhibitions.
- Deepen technical competence via short courses and specialty tracks.
- Influence the future direction and collaboration in the refractories field.
We look forward to meeting customers, suppliers, partners, peers and colleagues alike over the course of the conference.
