Ceram Austria GmbH also participated this year in the Bildungsmesse at the Koralmhalle Deutschlandsberg on October 3, 2025. Colleagues from the training and HR teams answered questions about apprenticeships, internships and career opportunities. Through presentations and short demonstrations, insights into production processes and technical training content were provided. We thank the employees who staffed the booth and everyone who spoke with us for their interest.

The Winter Run Graz was created to keep runners fit over the winter months. Competitors can put their form to the test over distances of 5 to 20 kilometres on three different dates.
Team Ceram Austria took part for the first time this year with 14 participants.
The start and finish point is the Grazer Stadtstrand. From here, the route leads over the Puchsteg, along the Murradweg, over Lagergasse and back onto the Murradweg. There is a turnaround at Auer Welsbach Gasse, from here the route follows the Gasrohrsteg, Murfelder Straße and again the Murradweg back to the starting point.
We congratulate our team on their successful participation and look forward to the next two dates on 26 January 2025 and 23 February 2025.

Founded in 1921 and still known to many as Porzellanfabrik Frauenthal, our company now operates as CERAM AUSTRIA GmbH. Since 30 March 2022 CERAM has been back in Austrian hands (DI Christian Kögl) — and substantial investments have been made since then to modernize and expand the site.
The focus is on sustainable measures: comprehensive renovation, new production facilities to secure jobs and competitiveness, and the expansion of renewable energy (large-scale photovoltaic installation).

One of the challenges faced by catalysts is their sensitivity to sulphur compounds during oxidative catalysis. In order to actively address this, a project was developed together with the scientific partners DI Dr Christian Weiß (Chair of Process Engineering for Industrial Environmental Protection at the University of Leoben), Prof Dr Volker Kahlenberg (Institute of Mineralogy and Petrography at the University of Innsbruck) and DI Dr Roland Nilica, Head of Research & Development at Ceram Austria GmbH. Submitted to the Austrian Research Promotion Agency as part of a BRIDGE call for proposals, the funding approval was received in July of the same year.
The 3-year project has a total budget of around €750,000. Novel catalyst materials are being developed, characterised and tested as part of the project.
