CALGON CARBON LAUNCHES ALL GONE™
PITTSBURGH, PA – April 4, 2005 — Calgon Carbon Corporation (CCC:NYSE) announced today the launch of All Gone™, the newest addition to its consumer product line. The All Gone™ activated carbon disk incorporates a patent-pending design that eliminates most household odors safely and naturally. All Gone™ is scheduled to be introduced on QVC® in May.
All Gone™ is ideal for removing odors in refrigerators, bathrooms, trash cans, closets, gym and diaper bags, autos, and many other small spaces where unpleasant odors are present. It comes with a fastener and adhesive holder for hanging the unit, and a decorative water drop stand for placement on flat surfaces.
For more than 50 years, Calgon Carbon has been an innovator in activated carbon technology and a leading supplier of granular activated carbon to remove odors from air and water. The All Gone™ activated carbon disk employs advanced carbon technology developed by the company that actually improves the utilization of activated carbon in eliminating odors. In performance testing, All Gone™ was clearly superior to other odor control products.
Commenting on the announcement, Robert P. O’Brien, senior vice president, business development for Calgon Carbon, said, “We are very excited about adding All Gone™ to our consumer product line. It is affordable, easy to use, and consumers will also be able to purchase replacement disks from QVC® by phone or on-line. We believe that All Gone™ is the most effective product on the market today for eliminating virtually any unpleasant common household odor.”
