about us
Established in 1973
Since our beginning in 1973 with two production units, Cancarb has brought quality and dependability to customers throughout the world. Now with 6 production units, thermal carbon black production from natural gas continues to be all that we do. With a constant focus by the entire team on quality, sustainability, and reliability, we have Thermax® where you want it, when you want it.
Being accountable to our planet is important to us and we take it seriously. From continual yield improvement initiatives to reduce, reuse & recycle programs, we are acting every day to ensure a healthy planet for future generations. We even use the heat from our production process to create high pressure steam that we use to generate electricity that powers approximately 20% of the City of Medicine Hat. This results in a reduction of approximately 90,000 tons of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions that would otherwise be needed to satisfy that power demand.
