Established
in 1978, and listed among the world's ' Best 200
Small Companies' by Forbes magazine, Thai Carbon
Black (TCB) holds the distinction of being one
of the world's largest carbon black plants at
a single location. Additionally, the company is
also the leading manufacturer of carbon black
in Thailand.
TCB
represents the Aditya Birla Group's first joint
venture between Indian and Thai investors. TCB
is the first company in carbon black business
of the Aditya Birla Group to go-live on SAP project
in April 2007. Marketed under the brand name 'Birla
Carbon', the company produces up to 220,000 tonnes
per year of world-class furnace grade carbon black
at its sophisticated manufacturing plant located
in the Angthong Province of Thailand.
To
cope with the increasing demand of carbon black
in both domestic and overseas markets, Birla Carbon
has aggressive growth plans. These would include
either brownfield or greenfield expansions in
S.E. Asia to augment additional capacity of over
100,000 mt/year over the next three to four years.
Carbon
black is primarily used in rubber goods, such
as tyres and tubes for automobiles, flaps, conveyor
belts, etc. It is also used in ink, pigment and
plastic industries. With the world's top three
tyre manufacturers in its list of customers, namely,
Bridgestone, Michelin and Goodyear, TCB has the
unique
distinction of supplying carbon black to all the
six continents from a single location. More than
50 per cent of Japan's total carbon black import
is from TCB alone.
