During the construction of the first railway line in Silesia rich deposits of kaolin and refractory clay close to Żarów were discovered. Carl von Kulmiz immediately took this opportunity by opening of the factory manufacturing bricks, tiles and stove tiles even in 1842 . Few years later he established the cooperation with scientists from Wrocław. This 1850 cooperation contributed in CARL foundation of FRIEDRICH CHAMOTTE BRICKS VON KULMIZ FACTORY C. VON KULMIZ in 1850, which manufactured fireclay and acid resistant bricks.

MODERN REFRACTORY SOLUTIONS FROM 165 YEARS 700 people produced monthly up to 5 000 t of refractory bricks. Main recipients 1881 were steel mills, sugar and lime industry, glass-making as well as chemical industry. Plant in Żarów owned its construction office working out the projects for gas, retort and chamber furnaces applied in city gas plants. These furnaces were 1900 manufactured of refractories coming from this plant and assembled by its employees. The main laboratory of Didier Group was founded in Żarów. It had a lot of successes, such as concept and implementation of the bricks for relining of 1932 steam railway boilers as well as new technology for manufacturing of raw materials necessary for production of fireclay bricks. Lot of patents and exceptional technical solutions, such as chemically bonded 1945- high alumina bricks for steel industries and foundries, mullite-zirconia and 2015 corundum-zirconia bricks for coke chute (ŻRMK) which have been applied till today.
