About us.

PRCO America, Inc. is a US company, incorporated in Pennsylvania in 2008, to make and sell refractories to iron and steel makers in the USA.  We are part of the Puyang Refractories Group, one of the top ten largest refractory producers in the world.  PRCO America owns and produces a comprehensive range of refractory bricks and specialties, including slide gate systems, alumina graphite isostatic pressed products, nozzles, precast shapes and monolithics.  Since 2022, our US production facility in Kentucky produces magnesia carbon brick for EAF and Ladle, reshoring US jobs previously lost to overseas competition.  We use unique, higher purity raw materials for less wear per heat in most critical areas.  We are self-sufficient in, and a provider of, raw materials in North America.  The PRCO Group is a global leader in the production of all types, sizes and qualities of Magnesia (MgO), Tabular Alumina (Al2O3), Spinel (Al2O3-MgO) and other basic minerals for industrial markets.
