GrafTech International Ltd at BMO Capital Markets Global Metal and Mining Conference Transcript
Okay. Keeping on schedule here. Up next, for those of you that have been in the room by the way for the last few presentations, I think, there's been a bit of a theme, which is mini-mill-based volume growth in North America, which fits in nicely with our next presenter, GrafTech.
GrafTech produces about 25% of the world's UHP graphite electrodes, which is a critical input for mini-mill-based steelmaking. Basically, you can't make steel without it in most mini-mills. GrafTech is also the only UHP graphite electrode producer that's vertically integrated, with their own petroleum needle coke facility, which is becoming increasingly scarce due to electric vehicle-related demand for petroleum needle coke. The company came public in May 2018. The majority shareholder, Brookfield, sold off a piece of the company to the public at that time.
Presenting today for GrafTech is President and CEO, David Rintoul.
