In 1974 a visionary named Usmangani R Shaikh, with science academic background identified the unfulfilled needs of then flourishing textile industries of Ahmedabad for carbon products used for electircal and mechanical applications.
Instantaneously making the most of his technical flair, management skills and risc taking attitude and available team, he embarked on a project to manufacture carbon components like carbon brushes, seal rings and all the carbon products required for various textile machineries of then period. The project named GUJARAT CARBON PRODUCTS started in a small room and with a single work station but with a broad vision, well defined mission, set goals and accurate planning and controlling.
This was earliest impetus by someone in this industry toward which very few people were familiar. Raw material procurement was the biggest problem and equally problematic was the availability of tools and machinery to be used for this unfamiliar material. Striving through these known and numerous unknown problems he succeeded in satisfying the customer need and could establish himself as a pioneer in manufacturing and supplying industrial carbon products in entire Gujarat state.
In 1995 second generation equipped with fresh talent and modern skills and inheriting the experience and know-how of parent, commenced additional project with a new company to provide a thrust which still continues.
Progression was now at the forefront and still continues. By day and night, months and years the affair which started in a small room, have snowballed today into an organisation named GRAPHICARB PRODUCTS- AN ISO 9001-2008 certified company which is the only and the biggest company in Gujarat-INDIA to make carbon products for mechanical and electrical application for all the industries and having stretched value chain from raw material to finished product stage.
