ERJ hightlights that for Cabot, “this has been the second consecutive quarter of record earnings (EBIT) within its Reinforcement Materials segment, which includes the production of rubber carbon black materials.”
According to Cabot’s announcement from May 3, 2021, the segment’s earnings rose by 45%, i.e. up to $81 million within the first quarter of 2021.
