History
Set up in 1976 by BOC in conjunction with ODDA SMELTEVERK in Norway to provide Calcium Carbide and Dicyandiamide to the UK market.
Became the distribution centre for the UK BOC Acetylene plants and provided micronized Calcium Carbide mixtures for Hot Metal Desulphurisation supplied to the BRITISH STEEL integrated plants in the UK.
BOC sold the Carbide production (ODDA) to Philips Bros of New York along with the CIL facilities.
ODDA was shown to be uneconomical and was closed in 2002. Carbide Industries continued to provide Carbide to the UK market, including BOC and the steel plants, by buying on the open market.
Carbide Industries was sold to Inca Holdings and continued to support the UK market with high quality Calcium Carbide to their existing Customer base.
The Andina Group acquired the shares in CIL. The company has benefited with the addition of technology and experience of the Andina Group.
CIL moved its facilities to Flixborough Industrial Estate. Carbide Industries Ltd (CIL) continues to supply Calcium Carbide products, desulphurization reagents and cored wire products to the UK steel, foundry and gas industries.
Carbide Industries continues to build good relationships with its customers whilst also looking for new opportunities in the Warehousing and Toll Processing sectors. This year also sees us branching out into the oil industry fronted by our new Director.
