Operations Director to a company in growth

CleanCarbon is a Norwegian company with more than 100 years of experience in sourcing and processing of carbon materials to the world alloy industry. We are dedicated to the alloy industry and believe that long term relationships and mutual cooperation with our customers help us to deliver high quality products and services. It all began on December 1st 1912 when Sigurd Syr Pedersen established the company SSP AS to trade carbon materials in Oslo, Norway. Little he knew then, that 100 years later the company would celebrate its centennial commemoration, after having evolved through 4 generations into a group of family companies. No doubt each generation has adapted to changing times and thereby contributed to the company’s development from local carbon trader to a global manufacturer and seller of specialized carbon materials. Our HQ is located at Skøyen in Oslo, and with subsidiaries abroad. Our vision is to become the preferred global sourcing and processing company of specialty high quality carbon materials to the Silicon Metal industry.
