Our Story
About PT. Ikaindo
Indonesia's leading coconut shell activated carbon manufacturer since 1988.
Company Introduction
Over Three Decades of Excellence
PT. Ikaindo, whose factory is situated at Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia, first commenced the manufacture of activated carbon from coconut shell in 1988.
Right from their initiation into the industry, PT. Ikaindo have continued to progress — thanks to technological improvements coupled with the growing expertise of their workforce — to become a leading manufacturer of high quality activated carbons.
PT. Ikaindo produces activated carbons using steam activation technology in rotary kilns. Coconut shell's natural hardness renders the carbon highly resistant to physical breakdown, making it superior for demanding applications.
