Founded in the UK in 1856, we have deep expertise in ceramics and carbon materials and we exploit our knowledge and experience to solve difficult problems for our customers.

Our model means we serve customers where they need us, across a diverse range of markets, and this has seen us grow to become a global organisation with around 70 manufacturing sites in 20 countries.

Our focus is on helping customers push the limits of their processes and products to meet demanding requirements, from higher process temperatures and higher product performance, to increasing miniaturisation.

Our purpose is to use advanced materials to make the world more sustainable, and to improve the quality of life.

Our purpose guides our actions: it underpins our work to reduce our environmental impact, informs how we treat our people, and ensures we fulfil our responsibility for good corporate governance.

We deliver on our purpose through the products that we make and the way that we make them.

• We improve the quality of life by supporting medical diagnostics with our power tubes in medical scanners. Our feedthroughs are at the core of cochlear implants and our seals are used in blood pumps. These products transform people’s lives.

• Our products help keep people safe. We are proud to design fire protection in everything from cars to tunnels, and ships to oil platforms.

• We design and manufacture our products to help customers save energy. Our carbon brushes are integral to wind turbines and power generators and enable electrified rail transport. Our ceramic rollers are used to make thin-film solar panels, our insulation is used in solar towers and steam turbines, and our ceramic cores are used to make more efficient industrial gas turbines. These are all products which promote a more sustainable and environmentally secure future for our planet.
