Calgon Carbon Corporation Expands Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Operations

12/25/2025
Calgon Carbon Corporation, a manufacturer of activated carbon filtration products used for air and water treatment, plans to expand its operations in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The $13.2 million project is expected to create 23 jobs.

The investment will include the construction of an additional 11,000 square feet at the company’s activated carbon recycling plant and warehouse as well as an additional 35,000 square feet at its facility that handles final processing of the military grade material.

“Pennsylvania has been Calgon Carbon’s home for decades, and this investment reinforces our long-term commitment to growing in the Pittsburgh region,” said Steve Schott, President and CEO, Calgon Carbon Corporation. “By expanding our Neville Township operations, we are strengthening domestic manufacturing capacity and supply reliability for customers who depend on activated carbon and reactivation services to support essential applications across the country. We appreciate Governor Shapiro and DCED’s partnership as we create new high-quality jobs and build for long-term resilience.”

The project is being supported by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) with a $300,000 Pennsylvania First grant.

“We’re proud to support a long-standing Pennsylvania business like Calgon Carbon Corporation, a strong manufacturing company that has had a presence in western Pennsylvania for over 80 years,” noted Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Secretary Rick Siger. “This expansion will allow Calgon Carbon to increase its production and recycling capabilities in Pittsburgh, while also creating more high-paying manufacturing jobs in the region. We’re laser focused on making strategic investments that strengthen businesses and continue to make Pennsylvania an economic development leader.”

Calgon Carbon Corporation provides activated carbon solutions for over 700 applications including drinking water, wastewater, pollution abatement, PFAS treatment, and industrial processes. The company currently operates manufacturing, reactivation, and innovation sites across the U.S., Asia, and Europe.
