Tokai Carbon Co., Ltd.
 PROFILE
Talk about carbon-based life forms -- Tokai Carbon lives on the stuff. The company manufactures carbon black, a reinforcement material used in car tires and other rubber products. Tokai Carbon also makes artificial-graphite electrodes for use in steelmaking in electric-arc furnaces. The company is shifting its focus to the production of fine carbon, which is used in the manufacture of semiconductors. In 1999 the US Justice Department fined Tokai Carbon $6 million for its participation in an international cartel accused of trying to fix prices for artificial-graphite electrodes for much of the 1990s. Tokai Carbon has operations in Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and the US.
