Superior Graphite divests the Desulco and X-Carb business to Unimetal
Superior Graphite, a leading manufacturer of graphite, has reached an agreement with Unimetal, a global leader of carbon products, to divest its recarburizer business. Unimetal will take over the Desulco trademark and the X-Carb brand, and commercial operations, using the Superior Graphite Heat Treatment process. Desulco the premium recarburizer benchmark for the metal industry, will remain being produced under the same high quality standards, carefully developed by Superior Graphite, for decades.
“These products will perfectly fit into our portfolio for metallurgical applications”, says Alan Yung, CEO of Unimetal.
“I am proud of how we managed to build the Desulco business for over 45 years within the Superior Graphite family. I am confident Unimetal will take the business to the next level. At Superior Graphite, we will intensify our focus on the non-metallurgical markets going forward”, says Ed Carney, CEO of Superior Graphite.
In the following months, together, Unimetal and Superior Graphite will implement the transition of all commercial operations in North America, Europe, Middle East, Asia/Pacific and South America. Unimetal intends to increase the market coverage, reinforcing its commitment with an environmentally friendly, energy-efficient processes and the state of the art thermal purification technology,.
