Cabot Corporation was founded by Godfrey Lowell Cabot in 1882 when he applied for a patent for a carbon black making machine.

Cabot Corporation also produces activated carbon products for the purification of air, water, food, beverages, and pharmaceuticals.
The company sells its products through distributors in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Asian Pacific, and the Americas.
