Adam Carbons ( Pvt) Ltd ( formerly Bieco Link Carbons Pvt Ltd), one of Sri Lanka’s premier manufactur­ers and exporters of high quality- steam pro - cessed- coconut shell- based activated carbon, has increased its production capacity.

The occasion on January 18, in order to serve its expanding customer base and increased global demand for activated carbon, was graced by distinguis­hed representa­tives of DFCC Bank PLC, Adam Capital PLC Chairman A. M. Pasqual, Directors - Dr. Ali Asger Shabbir Gulamhusei­n, Ms. Danushya Mediwake Gulamhusei­n, D.P. Galabodage and senior management and staff of the company.

The company, once Sri Lanka’s second biggest exporter of activat- ed carbon, has seen its fortunes revived since Adam Investment­s PLC became the majority shareholde­r of its parent company Adam Capital PLC in November 2014. At present, Adam Carbons is a highly sought out producer of full spectrum coconut shell activated carbon and continues to grow to consolidat­e its position as a prominent industry in the North- Western Province providing employment and earning vital foreign exchange for Sri Lanka, according to a media release issued by the company.

The Adam Carbons manufactur­ing plant is located in Giriulla in the North- Western Province and at the southern end of the coconut triangle. The manufactur­ing plant consists of both vertical and rotary kiln technology. These facilities together with the company’s other proprietar­y technologi­es make the Adam Carbons Factory unique. It is one of the few plants in the world with the ability to manufactur­e steam activated coconut shell carbon with a full range pore structure.

Adam Carbons manufactur­es activated carbon using a 100 per cent environmen­tally friendly process, leaving a net zero carbon neutral footprint. The green production process of the adam carbons factory uses recycled waste and renewable biomass energy generated by the factories own production processes which eliminates pollution whilst producing steamed activated coconut shell carbon of the highest quality.

Demand for coconut shell based activated carbon is rapidly growing globally due to its distinctiv­e quality as a better performing carbon, unlike activated carbon produced from other raw materials such as coal and wood.

Adam Carbons (Pvt) Ltd presently exports to globally reputed buyers worldwide including markets such as Sweden, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand and the US.
