Carbon’s products have been serving a variety of global industrial markets since we began producing carbon brushes for the transport industry at the beginning of the 20th century.

Aerospace: we produce market-leading turbine engine seal and bearing components.

Defence: we provide critical protective components for the world's marine, surface and air defence, from nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers, tactical and strategic ground vehicles and weapon systems, to fixed and rotor winged aircraft.

Diamond synthesis: we are a leading supplier of highly-engineered graphite powder used in the manufacture of synthetic diamonds. There is growing demand particularly from the construction and oil-drilling industries following an increase in the use of these products as abrasives.

Electrical industrial and traction: these industries use our carbon brushes, holders, commutators and collectors.

Fluid handling: our carbon and silicon carbide components are used in the seals and bearings critical to the pumps and compressors used in many industrial sectors such as oil and gas, chemical and food processing.

High temperature insulation: we are a world leader in the manufacture and application of thermal management products, spanning carbon and graphic felt and cloth and machined graphite components. These are used in demanding applications such as solar, semiconductor, vacuum, furnace, high purity fused silica glass and automotive and aerospace component manufacturing.
