CarboTech’s strength is the development of tailor-made products, especially for complex applications. The characteristics of our activated carbons can be tailored exactly to the individual wishes of our cutomers.
Clean water, clean air, and clean ground – keeping clean our most important habitats is the only way to create the basis for a higher quality of life. CarboTech has been dedicated to these challenges for over 50 years as a specialist for adsorption using activated carbons, zeolites, silica gels and activated aluminas.
As a manufacturing company we benefit from a unique breadth of experience to supply solutions that have a sense of proportion and are characterised by a high level of economy and reliability, in Germany, Europe and across the world. We are also keen to look beyond our technical horizons.
History
After world war 2, the Bergwerksverband GmbH (mining association) began setting up experimental facilities for the production of purest carbon and activated carbon. Thanks to many years of experimenting, it proved possible to produce very high quality activated carbon from hard coal. In 1955, a large-scale pilot plant was erected on the site of the former Queen Elisabeth coalmine in Essen and on February 29th, 1956, it was put into operation. This was the beginning of the company history of CarboTech AC GmbH.
