History of the company

JARO Spółka Akcyjna is Poland’s only supplier of low alumina clays (with Al2O3 content of up to 39%) aluminosilicate refractory materials with superb quality and working parameters. The Company owns a refractory clay strip mine called “Stanisław” and a processing plant for mineral materials, equipped with rotary furnaces, crushers, mills, dryers, screens and other machines.


The history of the company dates back to the year 1870, when seams of refractory clay were found near Jaroszów. An industrial enterprise started and the „Refractory clay mines in Jaroszów” were established. In 1945, the state took over the works and renamed them into „The Jaroszów Works of Refractory Materials”. In 1995 the enterprise was transformed into a one-man company of the state property. Since 1998, it has been working as the JARO JOIN-STOCK COMPANY.
