Its registered office is Podnikatelů 909, 739 34 Šenov, in the Moravian-Silesian Region, and the register shows the company as active.

The registered objects of business (předmět podnikání) entered on 1 March 2024 are the manufacture of building materials and of porcelain, ceramic and plaster products; waste management excluding hazardous waste; wholesale and retail trade; and advisory and consultancy activity including expert studies and reports. They replaced the general trade licence entered on 28 April 2014 and, before that, wholesale of industrial ceramics, metals and hardware, technical consultancy in metallurgy and industrial ceramics, and the manufacture of porcelain and ceramic products. The capital-refractories.com website describes the product range as coreless and channel induction furnace linings, castables, gunning materials, rammables, mortars, crucibles, ceramic shapes, filters, porous plugs and flow-control and atomising nozzles, supplied to the aluminium, copper, iron and steel foundry, cement, investment casting, powder metallurgy, precious metals, superalloy and waste-to-energy sectors.
The company is privately held and is not listed on any stock exchange. It reports to a 30 November financial year end. The audited accounts for the year ended 30 November 2024, filed in the Sbírka listin on 2 July 2025, report net turnover of CZK 206.9 million (CZK 188.1 million from products and services and CZK 18.8 million from goods), operating profit of CZK 35.7 million, profit after tax of CZK 25.7 million (FY2023: CZK 24.6 million), total assets of CZK 217.6 million and equity of CZK 139.1 million.

Shareholders of Capital Refractories s.r.o.
The Commercial Register records a single member (společník): CAPITAL REFRACTORIES LIMITED, of Station Road, Clowne, Derbyshire S43 4AB, United Kingdom, holding a 100 % interest (obchodní podíl) with a contribution (vklad) of CZK 5,400,000, fully paid. The current entry dates from 28 April 2014; the same company has been the sole member since the company was founded on 21 May 2001.
The registered basic capital (základní kapitál) is CZK 5,400,000, fully paid. It was CZK 600,000 on incorporation and was increased to its present amount on 6 May 2002. A Czech s.r.o. does not issue shares: the register records one 100 % podíl rather than a share count.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
The member, Capital Refractories Limited, is registered at UK Companies House under company number 01101489, incorporated on 13 March 1973 and formerly named MANSOME LIMITED until 11 February 1982. Its persons with significant control (PSC) register names CAPITAL REFRACTORIES HOLDINGS LIMITED (UK company number 16365169) as its sole PSC, notified on 30 September 2025, holding 75 % or more of the shares and of the voting rights and the right to appoint and remove directors.
Capital Refractories Holdings Limited was incorporated on 4 April 2025 at Station Road, Clowne, Derbyshire S43 4AB, and is classified under SIC 64209 (activities of other holding companies). Its PSC register names three individuals, each recorded as holding more than 50 % but less than 75 % of the shares and of the voting rights, together with the right to appoint and remove directors — figures that overlap and so indicate a jointly held interest:
- James Philip Russell Newsome — notified 4 April 2025; nationality British, country of residence England (UK PSC register).
- Paul Stephen Russell Newsome — notified 9 October 2025; nationality British, country of residence Switzerland (UK PSC register).
- Deirdre Helen Newsome — notified 9 October 2025; nationality British, country of residence England (UK PSC register).
The chain therefore runs: Capital Refractories s.r.o. (IČO 25881728) → Capital Refractories Limited (GB 01101489) → Capital Refractories Holdings Limited (GB 16365169) → the three Newsome individuals named above.
The Companies House record shows what happened in 2025. The holding company was incorporated on 4 April 2025; a statement of capital following an allotment of shares dated 30 September 2025 (capital of GBP 15,000) was filed on 6 October 2025, and on the same date Paul Newsome and Margot Lynne Stuart-Harris were appointed directors of the holding company. Also on 30 September 2025 the PSC entries at Capital Refractories Limited changed: James Philip Russell Newsome (notified 15 April 2016, control held through a trust) and Margot Lynne Stuart-Harris (notified 15 April 2016, 25–50 % of shares and voting rights) both ceased, and the new holding company was notified in their place. The holding company filed its first confirmation statement, made up to 23 March 2026, and group accounts made up to 30 November 2025 on 18 August 2026.
Data availability
The Czech beneficial-owner register (evidence skutečných majitelů) was closed to public access on 17 December 2025, so no Czech UBO extract can be consulted. The ownership chain above was therefore established from the UK PSC register at Companies House, which is free and authoritative and which publishes named individuals — an unusually complete route to beneficial ownership for a Czech subsidiary.
The Czech register publishes the member and the size of the podíl but not a beneficial-owner declaration. The shareholder record stored on this page expresses the holding as 100 ordinary shares of CZK 54,000; that is a normalisation of the single CZK 5,400,000 podíl recorded in the Commercial Register, not a share register. Dates of birth held in the underlying records are not published here.

Directors and officers of Capital Refractories s.r.o.
The statutory body (statutární orgán) consists of three jednatelé (managing directors). The register states the way of acting, entered on 21 February 2018: Každý z jednatelů zastupuje společnost samostatně a v plném rozsahu — each jednatel represents the company individually and in full. The number of members of the statutory body is fixed at three.

- Robert Stephen Marsh — jednatel, office arising 23 June 2025, active. Citizenship recorded in the Commercial Register: United Kingdom.

Data availability
The Commercial Register publishes officers’ dates of birth and residential addresses openly; neither dates of birth nor birth numbers (rodné číslo) are reproduced here. Citizenship is reported only where the register carries the field, and is shown as recorded rather than inferred.
Two points on the officer data stored for this page. First, every officer is stored with an address country of CZ, although the register addresses of Robert Stephen Marsh, James Philip Russell Newsome and Christopher Harry Wragg are in the United Kingdom (Sheffield, Derbyshire and Staveley respectively). Second, the surname of Ivo Bartoš is stored without diacritics. The register itself is the authority on both points.

The notes to the FY2024 accounts state that the consolidated accounts of both the widest and the narrowest group of which the company is part were drawn up by CAPITAL REFRACTORIES LIMITED, Station Road, Clowne, Derbyshire S43 4AB. From the year ended 30 November 2025 group accounts were filed by CAPITAL REFRACTORIES HOLDINGS LIMITED, which was interposed above Capital Refractories Limited on 30 September 2025.
The related-party note to the FY2024 accounts identifies the counterparties with which the Czech company traded: CAPITAL REFRACTORIES LIMITED (sales CZK 53.1 million, purchases CZK 15.5 million), CAPITAL REFRACTORIES Inc. (CZK 48.1 million), CAPITAL REFRACTORIES TECHNOLOGY Ltd. (CZK 9.9 million), CAPITAL INJECTION CERAMIC Ltd. (CZK 2.2 million) and Caprefindia Private Ltd. (CZK 1.6 million), a total of CZK 114.8 million of sales in the year ended 30 November 2024.
Data availability
The Czech Commercial Register discloses the member and the size of its podíl but does not publish a group tree, so the levels above and beside the Czech company were established from UK Companies House and from the related-party note to the filed FY2024 accounts. Ownership percentages between the parent and the non-Czech entities are not disclosed in any Czech source and are therefore not stated.
Two identifier caveats apply to the stored group record. The two Indian entries carry a GSTIN and a PAN rather than a Corporate Identity Number issued by the Indian Ministry of Corporate Affairs, so they are tax identifiers and not company registration numbers. CAPITAL REFRACTORIES TECHNOLOGY Ltd., named in the FY2024 related-party note, does not appear in the stored group record and no registration number for it has been verified.
