Description: EAF GrafTech International October 28, 2025

GrafTech International Ltd. (NYSE:EAF) designs, manufactures, and markets graphite and carbon-based products globally, most notably graphite electrodes used in electric-arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking and petroleum-derived needle coke for electrode and synthetic graphite production. Sales are executed via a direct force, independent representatives, and distributors, and the firm traces its roots back to 1886 with headquarters in Brooklyn Heights, Ohio.

Key recent metrics (2023) show revenue of roughly $1.2 billion, an EBITDA margin near 18 %, and a backlog of $300 million, reflecting steady demand from the steel sector. The primary economic driver is the ongoing transition toward lower-carbon steelmaking, which fuels demand for EAF-compatible graphite electrodes; a 2024 World Steel Association forecast predicts a 5-6 % annual increase in global EAF capacity, directly benefiting GrafTech. Additionally, the company’s needle-coke margins are sensitive to crude oil price volatility, as feedstock costs rise with higher Brent crude levels.
