Jiangxi Black Cat Carbon Black Inc., Ltd. (002068.SZ) manufactures and sells carbon black, a key industrial raw material used in tires, rubber products, plastics, inks, paints, batteries, and cables. The company produces various grades of carbon black, including N100-N800 series for rubber reinforcement; specialty carbon blacks such as high-color blacks for inks and coatings, conductive blacks for batteries and antistatic applications, and wear-resistant blacks for tire treads; as well as customized products under brands like BC series for international markets. It operates production facilities in Jiangxi, Guizhou, and Sichuan provinces in China, serving tire manufacturers, rubber compounders, plastics processors, and coating producers primarily in Asia, with exports to Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia; headquarters are located in Pingxiang, Jiangxi province, where the company was founded in 1995.
In recent developments, the company expanded capacity through the commissioning of a 150,000-ton wet-process carbon black project in Guizhou Copperbelt in 2024, enhancing its supply for high-performance tire applications. It formed strategic partnerships with leading tire makers like Linglong Tire and Sailun Tire for sustainable carbon black supply chains, including collaborations on low-carbon production technologies. Additionally, Jiangxi Black Cat secured a RMB 1.2 billion financing round in late 2024 for R&D in eco-friendly carbon black variants and completed the acquisition of a specialty carbon black facility in Sichuan to bolster its high-value product segment.
