MAY 18, 2018

The tight supply/demand situation for graphite electrodes is expected to persist for much longer than many market observers expect. First, environmental plant closures in the raw material coal needle coke industry hampered the production of graphite electrodes. Batteries underpin growth in natural graphite.
