The Roots of CeramTec North America
The roots of CeramTec are an integral part of the global history of technical ceramics. This history includes more than 115 years of manufacturing by CeramTec North America's parent company as well as more than 100 years from the origin of the Laurens operation.
Few ceramic companies offer such a strong lineage. In 1996, the formal merger of Hoechst CeramTec AG and Dynamit Nobel's Cerasiv Division created CeramTec. In 2022, CeramTec was acquired jointly by CPP Investments and BC Partners.
Throughout its successful history, there have been a range of mergers and acquisitions involving various segments of the company. In summary, names such as American Lava, 3M, General Electric, Rosenthal, Hoechst, Cerasiv, SPK, Ceramaseal, AlSiMag, Dynamit Nobel and others have been important pieces of the history of various branches of this successful company.
In 2015, CeramTec acquired DAI Ceramics, LLC. Founded in 1986, DAI Ceramics is focused on manufacturing high quality ceramic cores for the casting of aerospace, medical, and other types of metal components.
In summary, CeramTec North America is an important part of a successful global organization with over a century of history producing a diverse range of advanced ceramic products and materials. The company is poised to meet and exceed the expectations of the current and future marketplace with these valued products.
