AFS Corporate Member Unimetal USA, a global provider of carbon products, says it will acquire AFS Corporate Member Larpen Metallurgical Service, a North American supplier of carbon products.

With a 62-year history, Larpen has a strategic network and is positioned near river and ocean ports.

Leveraging a global workforce of 2,000 and robust logistical infrastructure, Unimetal manufactures and handles millions of tons of low sulfur green petcoke and calcined petcoke.
Alan Yung, CEO of Unimetal, said that because of the acquisition, Larpen gains exclusive access to the world’s largest source of low sulfur products, enhancing its product range and ensuring a reliable supply chain as part of an integrated manufacturing company.
