MATERIALS
THAT PERFORM
UNDER FIRE
PSM Orechem is a specialist supplier of refractory and mineral solutions for induction furnace steelmaking — the newest chapter of a family that has made ramming mass for three generations. Behind the company stands more than 25 years of hands-on experience in the refractory and minerals industry, earned on plant floors, beside the furnace, not behind a desk.
Consistent material is the difference between a predictable season and an expensive one. That consistency is what we exist to deliver.
That experience defines how we work. We know how silica behaves inside an actual induction furnace at full production load, and we select every material on a single test: how it performs in the lining you have to live with for the next campaign.
We supply with a focus on performance over volume. Every batch reflects one discipline: uniform quality, batch after batch. A predictable lining is what lets a plant manager plan the month — and that is the only outcome our material has to deliver.
MEET THE
FOUNDER
Rahul Maheshwari grew up inside the ramming mass trade — furnace performance, raw-material purity, and customer trust were dinner-table conversation long before they were his profession. That gave him something no classroom teaches: an instinct for what actually matters on the plant floor.
He paired that grounding with formal training in engineering and management, and set out to do something the industry rarely sees — bring systematic, technology-driven quality control to a business that had always run on experience alone. It is the same conviction behind FURNEX, the furnace-intelligence platform PSM offers its customers: that trust in a material should be measurable, not merely promised.
He founded PSM Orechem in 2024 with a single line in mind — compete on performance, not price. Every decision the company makes, from which quartzite it sources to how each batch is checked, traces back to that.
"The steel industry runs on trust. My father taught me that. What I am adding are the tools to make that trust measurable, repeatable, and scalable."
HOW WE
WORK
In steelmaking, the value of any material is decided inside the furnace — not in a brochure. Three commitments shape how PSM Orechem operates, and none of them are flexible.
Consistency
A steel plant's planning depends on a predictable lining. Our raw material selection and quality control are built around that single requirement: every consignment we ship should behave the same way as the last one your operators worked with.
Understanding
Material performance is decided by your furnace practice, your operating temperature, and your steel grade. Because we have spent years in that environment, the grade and granulometry we propose is tuned to how your specific operation runs, not pulled off a standard datasheet.
Partnership
A ramming mass supplier is only useful if they pick up the phone when the lining gives trouble. We work to be the kind of supply partner steel plants come back to — staying close to operations long after the consignment leaves our gate.
We work with steel plants across India that have moved past chasing the cheapest tonnage and want a supplier who answers the phone when the lining gives them trouble.
Talk to Us →SOURCED FROM THE BEST
MINES IN INDIA
Reliable material starts at the source. We draw from two of India's richest mineral belts, so raw material quality is never left to chance.
Home to some of India's finest high-purity quartzite deposits, Jharkhand anchors our supply chain. Our presence here gives us direct access to ore that meets the purity standard induction furnace lining demands — SiO₂ above 97.5%.
Rajasthan's mineral-rich western belt gives us a complementary source of high-grade quartzite. It is also where our story began — our grandfather started the family's ramming mass business here in 1972. Sourcing across two regions builds resilience against supply disruptions and ensures consistent quality across seasons.
PSM Orechem carries the initials of Late Prem Swaroop Maheshwari — the patriarch who began this family's journey in ramming mass. His name is on every bag the company ships. It is both a tribute and a standard: the work has to be worthy of the name it carries.
