Activated carbon purification systems for water, air, and industrial applications
Calgon Carbon manufactures activated carbon and ion-exchange products across 700+ end-use applications in water and air treatment. The company is manufacturing-heavy (13 open roles) with concurrent hiring in engineering (9) and operations (8), and a project list dominated by safety, compliance, and plant reliability work—signaling operational maturity concerns around uptime, scrap reduction, and maintenance costs rather than product innovation velocity.
Founded in 1942, Calgon Carbon is a public company headquartered in Moon Township, Pennsylvania, with 1,001–5,000 employees. The company manufactures granular activated carbon, ion-exchange resins, and UV purification technologies sold into municipal water treatment, industrial process applications, and air quality markets. Active hiring spans manufacturing, engineering, operations, and sales roles, with current geographic focus in the United States and Panama. The tech stack reflects industrial operations (SAP, Salesforce, AWS, Terraform, AutoCAD) rather than software innovation.
