Calcium Carbide

Aerial view of an industrial complex surrounded by trees and mountains, with a town and railway track nearby under a clear sky.

In Landeck, we produce calcium carbide from coke and limestone for the gas and steel industries. The electricity-intensive production process is largely powered by our own hydroelectric power plant, which supplies clean, environmentally friendly energy.

Our modern facilities and decades of experience secure our position among the European leaders in high-quality products for pig iron desulfurization. At the same time, we have been producing calcium carbide for acetylene gas for over 100 years – reliably, efficiently, and with a proven track record.
