India Carbon Limited (ICL) provides the right blend of people &
products to serve the needs of the Aluminium, Steel & other Carbon
consuming industries. The Company, established in 1961 was founded
by Mr. B. Himatsingka.
India Carbon's primary business is the manufacture and supply of
high quality Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) which is the purest form
of Carbon, containing over 99.5% of it. Along with the Calcined Coke
the Company also specializes in the production of Electrode Carbon
Paste (ECP) and Tamping Paste used widely in the Ferro Alloys and
Allied industries and also in the production of Carbide. Both the
Electrode Carbon Paste as well as the Tamping Paste are produced
from a mixture of different carbonaceous material (CPC, Calcined
Anthracite Coal, etc.) and Soft Pitch which is used as a binder.
The Company is constantly undertaking activities with a view on
Research & Development, thus enabling itself to maintain its
position on the leading edge of technology.
Apart from the production of an industrial raw material such as CPC,
in 1991 ICL's dynamic management team also led the Company into the
field of floriculture through the establishment of orchid farms in
Guwahati, Assam. The orchid flowers are currently being sold
primarily in the cities of Bangalore, Mumbai, New Delhi and Kolkata,
but the Company is looking ahead to new export possibilities.
