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.
WHERE PITCH SHOWS UP
Graphite anodes & electrodes · carbon fiber & composites · carbon foam · refractories · nuclear-grade graphite.
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.
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.
