The Tokai Carbon Group commenced operations as a pioneer in the carbon industry in Japan in 1918, and since then has actively contributed to the development of society through carbon-related products and services based on diverse manufacturing fields and technology.
Our products are currently being put to practical use in a wide range of fields. Carbon black, which is used as a reinforcing agent for tires, etc., Graphite electrodes, which are used for recycling steel in electric furnaces, Fine carbon, which is used in a wide range of new energy related fields, such as solar batteries and semi-conductors, Friction materials, which make up the brakes and clutches on engineering vehicles, motorcycles and automobiles, etc., and Industrial furnaces & related products, which are used for heat-treating ceramics, electrical parts, metal, and glass, etc. Growing together with these five core divisions, Tokai Carbon continues to spread its wings from Japan to the rest of the world.
Based on our corporate philosophy of “Immersing ourselves in the field of creation and accepting all challenges in order to improve our competitiveness” as a manufacturer, we intend to adopt all measures to ensure uncompromising and sustainable growth within the harshness of the current business environment as the Global Leader in Carbon Materials.
