Alfa Refrattari was born in 1977 around the passion for refractory brick, a natural material ideally suited to welcome and to make available the flame and its own heat.

Today the company feels the need to fully capitalize on its distinctive skills acquired in 40 years and decides to set up “Alfa 1977” with its four brands that express four different ways to live the fire, its flame and its heat.
