About Us


In 1996, Saint-Gobain created the Wear Resistant Technologies Department after many years of experience in the wear resistant market through its various divisions and acquired companies. The creation of Wear Resistant Technologies was designed to bring together this significant technology and focus it in such a way that customers would be better served and have a single place to gain access to materials and services to solve their various and complex wear resistance problems.


Saint-Gobain Ceramics WRT is the full integration of several leading worldwide ceramic producers, which include :

SEPR (1929)
CORHART (1987)
NORTON COMPANY (1990)
PAKCO (1990)
