Products and Services

• Ferro Chrome

  Ferro chrome is IMFA's flagship product, primarily used as a raw material in the production of stainless steel due to its corrosion-resistant properties. The production of ferro chrome involves the smelting of chromite ore in electric arc furnaces, a process in which IMFA specializes. This product's high quality and reliability have made it a preferred choice among stainless steel manufacturers in India and abroad.

• Fly-ash Bricks

  Apart from its core activities in the ferro alloys sector, IMFA has ventured into the production of fly-ash bricks. Utilizing fly ash, a by-product of coal combustion in power plants, these bricks represent a sustainable alternative to traditional clay bricks. Fly-ash bricks are known for their lightweight, high strength, and thermal insulation properties, making them an eco-friendly building material choice.

• Low-Density Aggregates

  Continuing its commitment to innovation and sustainability, IMFA also offers low-density aggregates. These aggregates are manufactured using advanced processing technology, ensuring they have a lower density compared to conventional aggregates. Their application is crucial in the production of lightweight concrete, which is increasingly preferred in modern construction projects for its benefits in reducing overall structure weight and improving thermal insulation.
