Where Anderman ceramics u0026amp; services are at work
Aerospace
From engine test cells and turbine R&D to thermal-protection sensor housings, aerospace specifies ceramics where metals fatigue, contaminate or burn. Anderman supplies the dense, high-purity oxide and non-oxide…
Alternative energy
Solid-oxide fuel cells, electrolysers, concentrated solar, hydrogen infrastructure, battery and storage R&D — alternative energy depends on oxide ceramics with precisely tuned ionic, thermal and dielectric properties. Anderman…
Automotive
From catalyst substrates and DPF cores to oxygen sensors, EV battery R&D fixtures and brake-system test rigs — automotive specifies ceramics in volume, with tight tolerance and unforgiving…
Defence
Armour development, radome and EW substrates, plasma-arc components, munitions test infrastructure, sensor and laser fixtures — defence specifies ceramics for hardness, dielectric performance and survivability. Anderman supplies dense…
Electronics
Power-electronics substrates, RF feedthroughs, LED carriers, vacuum components, semiconductor fixtures — electronics specifies ceramics for thermal management, dielectric isolation and dimensional precision. Anderman supplies aluminium nitride, dense alumina,…
Foundry
Low-pressure die casting, gravity casting, investment casting, sand casting — non-ferrous and ferrous foundries lean on ceramics for dosing tubes, riser tubes, thimbles, pouring spouts and break rings.…
Glass
Float-glass furnaces, container-glass feeders, fibreglass bushings, special-glass tank components — glass manufacturing eats most refractories. Anderman supplies the fused silica, mullite, zirconia and alumina grades that handle glass-contact,…
Heat treatment
Kiln furniture, retort components, thermocouple sheaths, belt-furnace supports, vacuum-furnace fixtures — heat treatment plant runs ceramic. Anderman supplies SiC, cordierite, mullite and alumina grades engineered for the cycling,…
Lab research
Crucibles, furnace tubes, thermocouple sheaths, sample carriers, vacuum components, crystal-growth fixtures — university labs and corporate research demand small-batch flexibility across the full grade range. Anderman supplies lab-scale…
Petrochemical
Catalyst supports, reformer tubes, reactor thermocouple sheaths, acid-handling pump components, flow-control nozzles — petrochemical specifies ceramics for chemistry that metals can't take. Anderman supplies the porous alumina, cordierite,…
Power generation
Burner tips, boiler thermocouple sheaths, gasifier internals, HV insulators, turbine instrumentation — power generation runs at temperature, pressure and chemical aggression that consume metals. Anderman supplies the SiC,…
Steel & metals
Continuous casting, ladle metallurgy, vacuum degassing, secondary refining — steel and ferrous production runs hot, corrosive and abrasive. Anderman supplies the alumina-graphite, zirconia-graphite, mullite and SiC refractories that…

Cross-industry credibility, built on three things
75 years supplying industry
Three quarters of a century of cross-industry trade. Specifiers know we've already solved the problem they're working on — even if it's the first time we're solving it for them.
UK + France stocking
Standard catalogue items ship from Kidderminster and Île-de-France in 3–5 working days — fast lead times into UK and EU sites without the import friction.
Spec-to-delivery advisory
Engineers who know ceramics in service. Material selection, drawing review, tolerance feasibility and lead-time confirmation — all from the same single point of contact.
Already know roughly what you need?
We'll route you to the catalogue with your filters pre-applied. No selection needed for either — pick one or both.
Need to discuss a sector-specific application?
Tell us the operating environment, the regulatory context (if any), and the part you're trying to make work. We'll match it to a material, a grade, and a lead time.
