CarboTech is one of the world’s leading suppliers of powdered, granulated and extruded activated carbons in Germany. Directly in the centre of the Ruhr area, we operate integrated production facilities for the manufacture, refinement and packaging of customised activated carbons, activated cokes and carbon molecular sieves from hard coal, coconut coke as well as charcoal.
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.
CarboTech combines experience from production, application and process engineering. Strategically, we are focused on classical requirements as well as innovative applications and services. The commitment of our experts, who know the challenges of practice very well, is highly appreciated by our customers.
As the successor to CarboTech Aktivkohlen GmbH, CarboTech presents itself today as a modern, medium-sized company and training company. Since we consistently work in a customer-oriented manner, it is necessary to constantly optimise our operational services. High demands on product and service quality are a matter of course for us.
The use of activated carbon specialities from CarboTech makes solutions possible that are permanently reliable and economical. Achieving this, especially with complex and demanding tasks, is the daily challenge of our experienced specialists.
Exchange and cooperation within the industry for common goals
In order to represent common goals and interests, good contact with administrations and political representatives with regard to legal changes, such as new pollutant limits or increasing challenges for the industry in terms of increased environmental pollution, makes the organization of industry representatives in interest groups indispensable.
At the same time, we consider an industry-internal exchange in association networks between our experts and other members of the associations to be valuable in order to exchange the latest research and development results so that we can always offer our customers the best possible advice based on the latest specialist knowledge.
The CarboTech Group is part of associations that focus on the following topics:
- Activated carbon (ACAP – CEFIC – Activated Carbon Interest Group)
- Biogas (Biogas e.V.)
- Sustainability and environmental management (VNU – Association for Sustainability and Environmental Management)
- Water, wastewater and waste (DWA – German Association for Water, Wastewater and Waste)
- Economic development (Business Metropole Ruhr – GreenTech/ Kuer NRW)
