Exploring the potential of carbon

A huge exporter and supplier of carbon products to the global semiconductor industry, Nippon Carbon has a history of introducing innovations to the Japanese and global markets.

For more than a century, Nippon Carbon has been a pioneer in the carbon industry, having succeeded in industrializing graphite electrodes for electric arc furnaces, whilst also introducing carbon fiber products for the first time in Japan. With these innovations, the company has continued to devote its experience and know-how in the field of carbon and graphite by developing value-added carbon products that meet changing societal and industrial needs.

In recent years, however, Nippon Carbon and the Japanese carbon industry have faced increased regional competition. In order to enhance its competitiveness, the company is today proactively exporting insulators for the heat treatment field, targeting the US, Europe, and China.
