Stellar Materials was incorporated on May 1, 1990. Stellar first began manufacturing Thermbond Refractories and Phoscrete Concretes operating out of a converted bowling alley on the corner of Eight Mile Road and Mound in Detroit Michigan.
Twenty years passed quickly and our concrete and refractory markets expanded from our initial successes in the Aluminum and Metals industry to include loyal customers in Petroleum Refining, Power Generation, Waste Incineration, Rock Products and Cement. Today, our 80,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Whitmore Lake, Michigan is equipped with state-of-the-art robotic mixing and bagging equipment.
Stellar was recognized both in 1997 and in 1998 among Inc. Magazine’s 500 fastest growing small businesses. Our operations now include sales offices across the United States, plus global operations in The Netherlands, United Arab Emirates, Brasil, and most recently, Mexico (see article below).
Stellar’s unique and patented Liquid Phosphate Binder System saves our customers millions of dollars in operating costs every year. Phoscrete is fast becomming the concrete repair material of choice across many industries. Thermbond is specified by name across many industries. Over 80 different Thermbond and Phoscrete formulations were developed to address specific refractory and concrete requirements including abrasion resistance, extended setting times, and patching materials.
In light of this milestone we gave ourselves a little makeover. We updated our logos and renamed our newsletter to “The Phoscrete Fix.” Please visit our updated websites, www.thermbond.com and www.phoscrete.com.
On behalf of the world-wide management and staff of Stellar Materials, thank you for your business and support. We look forward to delivering the best refractory and concrete solutions to you for the next twenty years and beyond!
