Silcarb started its journey in the year 1982 as silicon carbide heating element manufacturer. 37 years on, today Silcarb holds more than 90% of the silicon carbide heating elements (Sic heaters) business In India and exports its products to almost all countries in the world.
Silcarb started its furnace manufacturing unit in the year 1999 and currently has upwards to 1500 operational furnaces in various fields ranging from high tech ceramics to foundry applications.
Silcarb, in the year 2013 started manufacturing its high-density range of molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2) heaters under the trade name “MOSIL” in its brand new facility dedicated to the manufacturing of these heaters. Silcarb, in the year 2015 started its new plant for the manufacture of technical ceramics and kiln furniture. Silcarb manufactures, in this new state of the art plant various nitrides, carbides, titanates etc.
Silcarb is an environmentally conscious manufacturing plant with an “employee first” principle and is an ISO 9001-2015 certified by UKAS and CE certified for all its products and as of date has a committed workforce of 150+ people.
Silcarb Recrystallized has its manufacturing plant located in Bangalore, in the south of India. The manufacturing plant is spread over 7 acres of land and with a built-up facility in excess of 90,000 square feet. This plant has complete backup power generation unit in excess of 1.5 MW dedicated only to its recrystallization furnaces.
Silcarb’s history began long before incorporation — when Mr. Chandrashekar, an engineer immersed in industrial problems, recognised a fundamental gap in India’s manufacturing capability: reliable silicon carbide heating elements were not made domestically.
Driven by this challenge and an engineering instinct to make what did not exist, he spent years experimenting...
Silcarb’s early years were defined by intense hands-on R&D. Silicon carbide heating elements are among the most demanding engineered ceramics — requiring ultra-high temperatures, precise chemistry, and process mastery.
With nearly no reference point in India, Silcarb built its expertise from scratch, evolving from low-density beta processes to advanced alpha silicon carbide technologies...
While heating elements remained Silcarb’s technical base, the company’s first major leap in system innovation came with the development of industry-specific furnaces.
One of the most significant breakthroughs of this era was the creation of the Octagon Furnace — an industrial furnace using Silcarb’s silicon carbide heating elements specifically designed for aluminium melting and holding applications.
In 1996, Mr. Anand joined Silcarb, bringing operational discipline and a systems mindset that transformed the company’s engineering culture into a scalable manufacturing organisation.
This era marked the shift from founder-centric experimentation to structured production systems and quality assurance — a key evolution that allowed Silcarb to serve not just local but also global industrial requirements.
Through the early 2000s and into the 2010s, Silcarb broadened its product portfolio while maintaining technical credibility:
By 2015, Silcarb’s product reach and engineering credibility enabled it to serve an ever-wider range of industries: automotive ancillaries, high-performance ceramics, foundries, specialty metallurgy, and more.
The company’s innovations were not just supply-side achievements — they were outcomes of deep collaboration with customers, adapting thermal technology...
Silcarb’s legacy in high-temperature engineering led it into advanced materials processing.
In 2021, Silcarb completed the installation of India’s first carbon fibre heat treatment line, a strategically significant project achieved in collaboration with Indian aeronautics institutions. This line encompassed high-end oxidation ovens, graphitisation furnaces, and precision fibre handling...
Silcarb’s expertise soon attracted national-level research and strategic initiatives. The company completed its third carbon fibre line for ARCI, Hyderabad in 2024, and expanded work with institutions such as BARC, NFC, and aerospace organisations on carbon fibre and related heat treatment solutions.
These partnerships reflect Silcarb’s trusted role in critical sectors including defence, aerospace, and nuclear applications...
By 2025, Silcarb received further strategic orders for carbon fibre thermal processing lines from leading national entities. The company now operates with over 150 professionals and serves more than 600 customers across the private, public, and government sectors.
Silcarb’s engineering portfolio today spans silicon carbide and MoSi₂ heaters, industrial furnaces, advanced...
Silcarb is not defined by a single product, but by a continuum of engineering depth.
From its origins in heating element manufacturing in 1982 to delivering strategic carbon fibre manufacturing infrastructure, Silcarb continues to solve some of the most challenging thermal engineering problems with innovation, precision, and industrial integrity
Silcarb believes in constant investment in the upgrade of its manufacturing processes at elevated temperatures of 2500 degrees Celcius, Silcarb also consistently invests in new equipment for its process improvement. We constantly work on reducing carbon footprint both internally and also with the furnaces that we manufacture for our customers. Our R&D team is constantly working on energy conservation with the use of new processes and materials. The top management at Silcarb is directly involved in most of the R&D activities at Silcarb. Silcarb’s R&D is the core of all of Silcarb’s activities.
Each division works closely with the others to improve the efficiency of the products manufactured.
As an example, our furnace division uses the heaters manufactured by both the silicon carbide and the Mosil (Mosi2 heaters) division and vice versa. Some of the kiln furniture manufactured by us are used internally in the most abusive environments thereby creating a continuous cycle of improvement.
