TFL Incorporated, a Houston-based provider of refractory materials and precast shapes, has been acquired in a move that strengthens resources and technical support for high-temperature industries. The acquisition enhances service capacity and product availability for clients operating in demanding thermal-processing environments, including sectors that rely on consistent refractory performance to maintain uptime and efficiency.

TFL has long specialized in the distribution and manufacturing of refractory materials and precast refractory shapes for industrial applications requiring durable, heat-resistant solutions. Its expertise supports operations across energy, petrochemical, and other high-heat industries throughout the Gulf Coast region.
Plibrico Company, a manufacturer of monolithic refractories and engineered refractory solutions, completed the acquisition as part of its continued growth strategy. The addition of TFL expands Plibrico’s geographic footprint, particularly in Texas and the Southern U.S., and strengthens its ability to deliver comprehensive refractory products and technical services to customers facing increasingly complex thermal processing demands.
