CarboTech is a child of German mining research and the coal industry. We see ourselves in the tradition of all those who continually draw new insights from science and technology in order to use them in an economically sensible way for the benefit of people and their environment. Every day and in many places around the world. That is why we conduct research, that is why we develop solutions to reduce environmental pollution and health hazards.

OUR HISTORY

CARBOTECH – EXPERTS IN ACTIVATED CARBON SINCE 1956

After the war, Bergwerksverband GmbH began to set up experimental facilities for the production of high-purity coal and activated carbon. Through years of trials, it was possible to produce a very high quality activated carbon from hard coal. In 1955, a large-scale test plant was set up on the site of the former Königin-Elisabeth colliery in Essen, which went into operation on 29 February 1956. Thus begins the company history of CarboTech AC GmbH.
