Our History: A Century of Refractory Excellence
1924
Origin of MRL
Established as the Northeast Refractories Plant, a state-administered research institute.
As one of China’s earliest centers of high-temperature materials, we pioneered national standards and trained generations of industry experts.
1950s-1990s
Evolution: Strategic Transition
Operated under several names: Shenyang Yuandong Refractories, Xingguang Refractories, and Xingguang Dongnai Refractories.
Transformation: In the 1990s, led by Mr. Yichun Lu, we transtioned from a state institute to a market-driven private enterprise, bridging the gap between research and industrial application.

Rebirth and Modernization
Rebranding: Relocated from Shenyang to Anshan, the world’s magnesia capital, and officially established as Marvels Refractories (MRL).
Core Focus: Evolved into an integrated solution provider, serving five primary sectors: Steel, Non-ferrous, Cement, Glass, and Gasification.
Today
Globalization and Innovation
Innovation: Invested in automated kilns and the RuiMine Monolithic Plant (RMP), ensuring precision and sustainability in manufacturing.
