ACRB Asia Carbon Industries Inc (CE)

Asia Carbon Industries, Inc. (OTCBB: ACRB) ("Asia Carbon") today announced that its shares have begun trading as a public company under the symbol ACRB on the OTC Bulletin Board.

Through its Shanxi, China-based, wholly-owned subsidiary, Taiyuan HongXing Carbon Black Limited, Asia Carbon produces a series of high quality carbon black products under the brand name Great Double Star.

The most common use of carbon black is as a pigment and reinforcing agent in automobile tires. It is also instrumental in conducting heat away from the tread and belt area of a tire, reducing thermal damage and increasing tire life. Other uses include radar absorbent materials and toner for photocopiers and laser printers.

Asia Carbon is one of the top ten carbon black producers in the Shanxi province and has established relationships with a high-profile customer base, the vast majority of which are tire manufacturers.

Yao Guoyun, Chairman of the Board of the Company, stated, "Having our stock trade in the United States is a significant step for Asia Carbon Industries, Inc. We have been working diligently to continually improve the quality of our product line and increase our capacity, positioning Asia Carbon to participate in China's economic growth."

Ms Yao continued, "We have established an aggressive growth strategy for Asia Carbon, including the addition of new products and clean, efficient production facilities. As a publicly traded company in the US marketplace Asia Carbon will have access to the capital we seek to implement the continued expansion of our operation."
