Your Process Doesn’t Pause — Neither Do We
Fast Action When It Counts
Our rapid response teams are ready 24/7 to address unexpected failures, minimize downtime, and get your line moving again.
Inventory and Labor You Can Count On
With stocked materials and cross-trained crews, we keep your project moving — even when timelines shift or scope expands.
Solutions That Withstand the Heat
We bring field-tested practices and proven refractory materials that hold up in the harshest furnace and ladle environments.
Trusted by the People Who Can’t Afford Delays
Our work happens behind the scenes, but our reputation doesn’t. See what our partners say when the heat is on, the margin is thin, and failure isn’t an option.
A Partner That Performs When It Counts
In the steel world, every minute of downtime carries weight. That’s why industry leaders call Schad. We’ve earned trust inside mills and foundries by showing up fast, working smart, and backing every recommendation with field-tested experience. Whether it’s a full furnace reline or a midnight patch job, we bring the crews, the planning, and the precision to deliver — without slowing your production.
Built for Urgency
Steel doesn’t wait — and neither do we. Our rapid response teams are trained to mobilize fast, assess quickly, and get to work with minimal lead time and maximum efficiency.
Expert Installers Across Methods
From brickwork to precast, gunite to shotcrete, and vibration cast to castables, we tailor the install to the job — not the other way around.
On-Site and Off-Site Capabilities
Our crews work seamlessly on your floor or from our off-site fabrication shops, where we pre-line complex components like launder systems, duct assemblies, or crucibles to cut install time and improve safety.
Steel Industry Roots
Schad has supported the iron and steel sector since our founding in 1942. Our crews understand the equipment, the language, and the pressure of steel environments — and we operate like part of your team from day one.
Field-Tested Materials
Our material packages are curated based on field performance — not catalog specs. And when you need them, they’re ready to ship.
