history
Mining engineer Josef Hörhager discovered the magnesite deposit on Millstätter Alpe in Carinthia, Austria , in 1908 . Emil Winter, a German-American, acquired the mining rights and founded the Austro-American Magnesite Company (later Radex Austria). The company was bought in 1974 by the American General Refractories Co. In 1987 General Refractories Co. became Radex-Heraklith Industriebeteiligungs AG ('RHI AG') as part of a management buy-out. In 1991 RHI bought Veitscher Magnesitwerke Actien-Gesellschaft, a competing company that was founded in Germany in 1889 by Carl Spaeter .
In 1995 RHI acquired a majority stake in Didier-Werke AG (in 1834 Friedrich Ferdinand Didier acquired a brickworks and lime kiln near Stettin , Poland , and thus founded the "Chamottefabrik F.Didier" and became one of the first manufacturers of refractory products in Germany). RHI bought Global Industrial Technologies in 2000 and sold all North American branches in 2002. The company completed the acquisition of Stopinc AG ( Switzerland ) in 2012 and acquired a majority stake in Orient Refractories, India in 2013.
