                                   Carbo PLC

                           ("Carbo" or "the Company")


                              GROUP RESTRUCTURING


The board of Carbo announces that following a further restructuring and review
of business operations in the UK and Germany, the Company has regrettably
concluded that an additional rationalisation of the workforce is required.  75
employees are to be released in the German operations with a further 16 in the
UK.



The rationalisation of the workforce will improve productivity, reduce fixed
costs and enhance the future profitability of the Group. The Board estimates
that redundancy costs of approximately #1m will be paid.
