Resco is a privately owned company with headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Resco has been known as a leader in
the specialty or monolithic refractories industry.

In June 2007, Resco purchased Shenango Advanced Ceramics.
Resco has, over its history and continuing today, developed and maintained significant research and technical
capabilities in refractory specialty and brick products. This has allowed Resco to establish leadership market share
positions in several application and product areas. These leading core competencies are highlighted in red below among

Resco is now a company small enough to be flexible and responsive and big enough to provide our customers with the
technical assistance they need to properly select, install and use products they can buy with confidence.
