America’s pitch, made with purpose.

Synthetic carbon pitch from U.S. coal for strategic industries.

WHY PITCH AND WHY NOW

  • The U.S. consumes 35% of the world’s pitch but produces only 3%, with 65% of imports coming from China—leaving EVs, aerospace, and semiconductor industries highly exposed to supply chain risk.

  • Today’s pitch supply is tied to coke- and refinery-byproducts—volatile, declining, and largely foreign-controlled.

  • Penncara decouples supply by making synthetic pitch directly from U.S. coal—turning an underused resource into a critical material for strategic industries.

WHERE PITCH SHOWS UP

Graphite anodes & electrodes · carbon fiber & composites · carbon foam · refractories · nuclear-grade graphite.

U.S. factory interior

America is short on pitch

The U.S. consumes far more pitch than it produces—creating exposure to import and quality risk across critical industries.

Industrial carbon materials process

We turn U.S. coal into a strategic material

Penn Pitch™ is made directly from U.S. coal—decoupling supply, delivering spec-tight consistency, and strengthening domestic chains.
