In 2002, SEFPRO started operations when Saint-Gobain acquired a plant in Palakkad. Palakkad is a unique location for SEFPRO India, where both fused cast and sintered refractories are manufactured in the same campus. In 2015, SEFPRO India expanded its production base with the establishment of a plant in Perundurai, near Erode, Tamil Nadu. This plant manufactures and exports fused-cast alumina and fused-cast AZS (Alumina Zirconia Silica) refractories.
