What Cocarb Solution does

Cocarb Solution is a Danish-headquartered B2B manufacturer of steam-activated carbon media and activated carbon filters, founded in 2008 and operating as part of the Danish Longhi Group, which has a long background in the carbonisation industry. The company produces steam-activated carbon from coconut shell, wood, and coal raw materials in powder, granulate, and pellet forms, and manufactures finished filters including standard cylinder and box filters, high-performance in-line filters, and application-specific customized units. Two sub-brands — Cocarb Air/Gas Pro for vapor-phase applications and Cocarb Liquid Pro for liquid-phase applications — structure the carbon product line around use cases such as solvent recovery, VOC adsorption, water purification, beverage purification, and gold recovery. Main production takes place in Indonesia at the company's own factory, with European management oversight of factories and R&D.

The business operates a direct enterprise B2B sales motion, with regional sales offices in Denmark (Greve and Solrød Strand), Poland (Warsaw, 2011), Singapore (2013), Jakarta (2015), and Dubai (2016), exporting to customers across Europe, the Middle East, the Americas, and Australia. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales of both carbon media and finished filters, plus custom filter design and manufacturing services delivered by an in-house R&D department. Customers span nine application verticals — water treatment, air and gas filtration, gold and mining, food and beverage, chemicals, petroleum and gas, airports, commercial buildings, and OEM filter manufacturers — with the company explicitly serving "the largest brands" in each region alongside smaller market-leader accounts. The company holds NSF International certification for water filtration products, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications achieved in 2018, and additional food-safety certifications including PZH Atest Hygienic and Ifanca Halal. The operating entity is Cavron Global (legal name) in Denmark, with about 80 employees across the group, and no external institutional or venture capital investors are disclosed.
