Ceramics UK Highlighting The Strategic Importance Of Refractories

1st December 2025

We would like to say a big thank you to Ceramics UK for shining a spotlight on a sector which largely seems invisible to most. The unsung hero of manufacturing, refractories deserve a greater spotlight and recognition for strategic importance.

Ceramics UK - The Voice Of The UK Ceramics Industry. From multinational ceramic corporations manufacturing in the UK to domestic SME manufacturers, Ceramics UK represents the collective interests of our sector. The UK ceramics industry is not a local or niche endeavour; it is a nationwide and foundational industry. This crucial industry has often remained hidden in plain sight, and its significance overlooked. While both Stoke-on-Trent and the pottery sub-sector are important, the UK ceramics industry extends far beyond these boundaries, encompassing a diverse range of products and applications.

Ceramics UK have produced a series of short videos highlighting the key challenges facing our industry and how policy decisions directly affect 20,000+ jobs and £2bn of UK manufacturing. The videos can be accessed at https://www.youtube.com/@ceram-ukTV/videos.
