Poweref – Refractory Company, Lda (NIF 515728748) is a Portuguese contractor specialising in the demolition and installation of refractory materials in industrial furnaces, founded in Lisbon in November 2019 by a management team that says it brings more than 30 years of experience in the refractory industry. Its Norwegian branch (NUF, org. no. 932898527) was registered on 7 February 2024 and entered the Norwegian VAT register a week later, to build, install, repair and maintain industrial furnaces and chimneys.
Poweref was incorporated in Lisbon on 12 November 2019 as a private limited company with €50,000 of share capital, registered at Rua Hermano Neves 18 under CAE 43290. Its registered objects are the construction, installation, repair and maintenance of industrial furnaces and chimneys; supervision, consultancy, technical assistance and engineering projects in those areas; the sale of refractory materials; and public and private construction works. Its website says that although the company was created in 2019, its management team has more than 30 years of experience in the refractory industry, gained as managers and technicians at other firms in the sector, and that it can work in every industrial sector in Europe and worldwide. The service list covers rotary kilns, cyclone towers and vertical and Maerz lime kilns in cement and lime; coke ovens, walking-beam and pusher furnaces, iron mixers and pelletising furnaces in steelmaking; glass and crystal furnaces, including hot repairs; tunnel kilns and kiln cars in ceramics; boilers, lime kilns, bleaching towers, tank linings and acid-resistant floors in pulp and paper; and refinery and petrochemical furnaces.
The Norwegian branch, POWEREF - REFRACTORY COMPANY, LDA (NUF, org. no. 932898527), was entered in the Brønnøysund register on 7 February 2024 and in the Norwegian VAT register on 14 February 2024, classified under installation of industrial machinery and equipment (NACE 33.200), with a stated purpose of constructing, installing, repairing and maintaining industrial furnaces and chimneys. The register gives its business address as the Edifício Matias on Praça D. Lourenço Vicente in Lourinhã — the building that Globalkiln, another Portuguese refractory contractor, lists as its new offices — and its postal address c/o the Bergen law firm Advokatfirmaet Magnus Legal AS, the same c/o address used by Globalkiln’s Norwegian branch. NorthSouth HQ found no published Norwegian project references for Poweref.
Poweref is one of three Portuguese refractory contractors, with Globalkiln (2023) and Lizmontagens (2017), that NorthSouth HQ has found registered as foreign businesses in Norway. Their crews reline the kilns, furnaces and boilers of heavy industry, making them a small, specialised services export from Portugal into the Nordics.
