ZIRCAR Ceramics, Inc. (ZCI) began operations July 1, 2000. It was formed when its successor ZIRCAR Products, Inc. (ZPI) was reorganized.

Among the 12 US patents involved, methods of manufacturing textiles of metal oxides, nitrides and carbides were included. Mr. Hamling’s work won him two 1968 IR 100 Awards from Industrial Research Magazine. He set up operations in the village of Florida, New York – about one hour northwest of New York City.
