On May 15th, we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the SGL Carbon site in Morganton, North Carolina. The entire SGL Morganton family came together to celebrate this remarkable milestone with the site and select guests.
The history of the SGL Carbon site in Morganton is a testament to innovation and progress in the field of graphite-based materials. The site traces its roots to 1944 when it was established with the vision of becoming a key player in the production of advanced materials. SGL Carbon was founded in 1992 through the merger of SIGRI and Great Lakes Carbon; the Morganton site has been part of SGL Carbon since that time. Over the years, the site has undergone significant expansions and technological advancements to meet the growing demand for high-performance graphite products.
In recent years, the SGL Carbon Morganton site has initiated numerous programs to ensure the safety of its employees. As a result, the Morganton site has now gone over 3 years and 750,000 hours without a Lost Time Accident (LTA) and has received the North Carolina Gold Star Safety Award for the second consecutive year.
