BKT Carbon is part of the BKT Group, a well-known tire manufacturer for special tires (e.g. for trucks). The BKT Group has a turnover of over USD 1 billion. The modern plants (2019 for ASTM carbon blacks and 2022 for specialties) have a capacity of 200,000 mt. In addition to many ASTM carbon blacks, specialty carbon blacks for printing inks, plastics, and paints and coatings have recently been developed and produced. Especially in this area, BKT Carbon is very active.
The managing director of BASSERMANN minerals, Dr. Jürgen Cremer, is very pleased that this representation could be obtained: "BKT Carbon is a dynamic partner with great expertise in the field of standard and specialty carbon blacks. The long-standing business relationships of the BKT Group as a direct supplier to the automotive industry only work with a very high understanding of quality and its practical implementation. A point that also benefits BKT Carbon. BKT Carbon's products complement our existing product portfolio in an excellent way."
