About Movi vuurvast
The specialist in refractory
MOVI refractory:
Is the specialist in the field of refractory. By being active in this sector for many years, we have become one of the leading companies in the Netherlands. Our company has 4 main activities, namely:
MOVI refractory installation:
The design and assembly of refractory structures in industrial ovens has been, since its establishment in 1983, MOVI VUURVAST’s main activity.
Given the extremely high temperatures in industrial furnaces, high demands are placed on the cladding. Heat release to the environment must be minimal and the outer cladding of the furnace must not get (too) hot.
Movi refractory sales :
With our daily involvement in refractory materials, it was a natural step for us to expand our range and start selling these high-quality materials as well. Since 1990, we have focused entirely on offering refractory and insulating materials. Our customer base includes fireplace and stove builders, as well as renowned building materials dealers.

History
The beginning of Movi Vuurvast
In 1983, the company was founded by Jan Moors. He started with very limited resources. A bicycle shed as an office, a bedroom as a drawing room and a chicken coop as storage. In the early years, Jan Moors made some big projects abroad including Indonesia and America.
The company grew quickly and after a few years, the first members of staff joined. The business premises became too small and had to grow with it. In 1988, the first production hall was put into use. Since then, we have been located on Julianastraat in Diessen on the “Laardal” industrial estate. The second hall with 2x 10-tonne cranes was taken into use in 1994. From then on, we were able to carry out larger projects in our workshop in Diessen. Kilns 5 metres wide and 25 metres long have long since ceased to be an exception. Over the years, the company has continued to grow and we employ more than 15 people working full-time on refractory. Parttimers and employment agencies regularly have to be called in to manage the work at home and abroad.
