High-temperature solutions for defence & security
Refractory technology and furnace construction for the safety-critical industry — reliable, precise, resilient.
High-temperature expertise for safety-critical applications
High-temperature processes form the technical backbone of defence production: whether heat treatment of special alloys, hardening of ballistic protection materials or thermal testing procedures — without high-performance furnace systems and permanently stable refractory linings, these processes cannot be carried out. SBS Refractory Service supplies precisely this infrastructure: precisely engineered, professionally executed and documented in accordance with the applicable quality standards.
As a company specialising in refractory technology and industrial furnace construction, SBS has decades of experience in sectors with the highest demands on process reliability and verifiable quality documentation. This expertise transfers directly to the requirements of the safety-critical industry — backed by many years of industrial experience.
High-temperature processes
Planning and implementation of thermal processes well into the high-temperature range, tailored to material-specific and process-specific requirements.
Materials expertise
In-depth knowledge of refractory materials, high-performance ceramics and metallic construction materials for use under extreme conditions.
Plant engineering
Development, manufacture and installation of bespoke furnace systems and heat treatment plants — from the individual component to the turnkey installation.
Quality assurance
Seamless documentation of all services in accordance with the relevant standards and quality management systems, including auditable records.
Application fields
Defence groups & systems houses
Qualified supplier for high-temperature processes in defence production — from heat treatment through to the refractory lining of complex industrial furnaces.
Aerospace
Furnace systems and refractory solutions for the manufacture and testing of engine and turbine components under defined thermal conditions.
Research & development

Our services for the defence industry
Specialised refractory and industrial furnace solutions for safety-critical applications.
Experience & expertise
Our expertise in the defence sector is based on many years of experience with demanding industrial projects, documented processes and a team that is familiar with safety-critical sites.
Dual-use: civil technology for safety-critical applications
The technologies that SBS Refractory Service deploys in industry are inherently dual-use capable: high-temperature furnaces, refractory linings and heat treatment systems are found equally in the energy sector, in plant engineering, in aerospace and in safety-critical manufacturing processes. Their performance is not tied to a single sector but derives from the technical quality of the solution.
For SBS this means that the expertise built up in civil project business — in the design of thermal systems, the selection of suitable refractory materials and compliance with demanding quality standards — transfers directly to requirements from the defence sector. SBS is therefore able to support projects at the interface between civil industry, aerospace and defence competently and in full compliance with the applicable rules.
