CEREL is a Polish producer focused on machined parts and elements manufactured from advanced structural ceramic like alumina, zirconia, as well as carbides or nitrides. In our portfolio you can also find electrical insulators, thermocouple protection tubes, advanced refractories for investment castings and many others.  Our competencies have allowed our partners and customers to design a wide variety of complex and extremely difficult to machine items for ceramic engineered components, allowing machine performance to achieve previously unachievable levels. Our engineers, technicians and support personnel are extremely experienced in manufacture and development of the highest quality ceramic components and processes. The majority of  CEREL’s products are machined to a very high dimensional accuracy, so are controlled to the highest possible standards. CEREL is equipped with an extremely modern laboratory to support our ceramics development activities and ensure our production materials are within the very stringent specifications required to achieve our exacting standards.

A leading research unit in the field of building materials, glass, ceramics, refractory materials and environmental protection. Many years of experience in cooperation with the industry in the field of research projects and industrial implementations pays off the perception of the Institute as a credible, reliable business partner. Thanks to the highly qualified team of scientists, the Institute is the creator of many innovative technological solutions that have been patented and implemented in the industry.It has many prestigious national and European authorizations confirming the high quality of research on advanced materials and technologies, including as the EU Notified Body No. 1487, Technical Assessment Unit, PCA AC 008 Certification Body and PCA AB 054 accredited laboratory. The Institute has extensive experience in the implementation of national projects and international, the results of which are implemented in the industry. At the same time, it closely cooperates with scientific units, e.g. AGH University of Science and Technology, Cracow University of Technology, Silesian University of Technology, Lublin University of Technology, Świętokrzyska University of Technology, Polish Academy of Sciences. The cooperation covers scientific works and research projects as well as training of scientific staff, including implementation doctorates and student internships.

GeniCore as a material engineering-based company provides unique sintering technologies for a variety of innovative materials and applications. As it is its highest priority, GeniCore works to produce groundbreaking inventions in order to deliver competitive advantage for customer applications. SPS technology (Spark Plasma Sintering) also called FAST technology (Field Assisted Sintering Technology) enables effective consolidation of pure metal powders, metal alloys, and ceramic and metal composites using pulsed direct current. The key aspect of FAST technology is the possibility to carry out the sintering process at a significantly lower temperature than other available methods. This has a beneficial effect on limiting the growth of grain and ensures much better parameters of the created materials. The advantages of FAST also include a very short sintering time and uniformity of the resulting material, as well as high energy efficiency related mainly to the direct generation of heat in the material.
