Gerken SA is the leading independent European manufacturer of carbon brushes, electrical carbon products and machined graphite components.

Independence is just one key difference which distinguishes us from competitors.

The 2009 purchase of the USA electrical carbon material plant (now E-Carbon America) has helped us achieve full vertical supply integration, from raw materials to the finished carbon product, ready to fit in customers’ critical equipment.

The sole focus of our business, now and for the future, is in carbon and graphite. We are totally committed to the development of carbon materials and processes to support key market developments in railway electrification; semiconductor manufacture and processing metals and renewable energies including wind and PV.

We are not influenced by shareholder pressures or the demand for short-term profitability. Our companies have over a century of experience, with Gerken itself being created and run by three generations of the same family.

Gerken will remain devoted to carbon and graphite, building long term partnerships with our customers and supplying high quality products at competitive prices, backed by unrivalled technical support.

Contact us, or talk to your local Gerken representative, to learn more about our unique philosophy and how it can support your business.
