One of the world's largest graphite-electrode makers, supplying electrodes used in electric-arc-furnace steelmaking.
One of the world's largest graphite-electrode makers, supplying electrodes used in electric-arc-furnace steelmaking.
Sells graphite electrodes, consumables burned up in electric-arc steel furnaces, so demand repeats with steel output and prices swing with steelmaking activity and the price of needle coke, the premium petroleum-based raw material. Large graphitisation capacity lets it supply the high-grade electrodes used in big furnaces.
In one line: A Chinese GrafTech.
Moat: narrow (scale, process know-how). Large-scale graphitization capacity and needle-coke sourcing are key cost/quality differentiators.
