Headquartered in New Delhi, India, OAL's manufacturing facilities are located in Porbandar, Gujarat and Bhiwadi, Rajasthan and have the distinction of being ISO - 9001 quality certified.

Porbandar, Gujarat

The Porbandar, Gujarat facility began commercial production in 1974. The plant was setup in technical collaboration with Karborundum Bentueky, Czechoslovakia and is the largest producer of synthetic high alumina materials in India, today.

The current installed capacity of the plant for Fused Aluminum Oxide Grains is 21,000 MT and for Calcined products is 74,250 MT. The Company is currently in the process of increasing the installed capacity of Fused Aluminum Grains to 36,000 MT. Currently the plant draws the majority of its power requirements from two furnace oil based captive generator sets. In light of the rising cost of furnace oil the management is setting up a lignite based power plant to meet its current and future power requirements.

Bhiwadi, Rajasthan

The refractory manufacturing facility is based in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan which is located in close proximity to New Delhi. This facility began commercial production in 1986. The division also has an allied plant based in Salem, Tamilnadu for manufacturing monolithics and some castables are manufactured at the Porbandar, Gujarat plant.

The Bhiwadi facility is spread over 27 acres of land. The refractory facility is divided into 3 independent sub-divisions one each for the manufacture of slide gate plates, continuous casting refractories and castables and pre-cast shapes. The division currently produces more than 20,000 pieces of slide gate plate, 18,000 pieces of Continuous Casting Refractory products and over 2000 tons of catables and mortars on a monthly basis.

As mentioned earlier, all the products manufactured are a result of an intensive development effort, which is carried out at the in-house Research and Development facility. This research and development facility is recognised by the Government of India and is fully equipped to carry out all testing and development activities with a wide range of equipment including:

• XRD Equipment
• TG – DTA
• Dialotometer – RTE
• Thermal Conductivity Apparatus
• Creep Tester
• HOMR testing equipment
