Striving to be Carbon

As a graphite manufacturing company, we think a lot about carbon - or I do anyway! It’s our world (quite literally as it makes up 0.025% of the earth’s crust and 18% of the human body).

But what’s so fascinating about carbon is its versatility; the way with just the right pressure it can evolve and become something new.

It’s what we strive for. It’s what all businesses should have as a guiding strategy. With forward momentum comes continuous development and evolution. If you stagnate you can’t hope to innovate. There’s a beauty in change. Think about how carbon becomes diamond for example.

As a graphite manufacturer, we specialise in carbon and graphite products, and we see the possibility that lies in graphite machinery. Our speciality is carbon and graphite in its many forms, solid graphite, graphite insulation, carbon fibre composites (CFC), solid carbon, impregnated carbon and graphite.

Our full range of extruded and isostatic graphite machined parts showcases the dextrous nature of the material. Our machined parts can be utilised in varied industries from defence to aerospace and even insulation.

It offers us true flexibility in our service offerings machining for large parts, small components, or one-off bespoke items, meeting the customer’s exact requirements. At Coidan, we embrace this approach, becoming the go-to people for creating special and bespoke graphite components.

But it goes beyond providing products for our customers. Working with the material teaches us a lot about how to act, both as people and as a business.

Continuous improvement is one of our seven guiding principles. We’ve learned from working with carbon the need to be adjustable and flexible as a business. It means we can continuously develop and change to something stronger and more fit for purpose.

Though we are biased….. We’re striving to be carbon neutral.
