EAF

GrafTech International Ltd. (NYSE:EAF) is a global manufacturer of graphite and carbon-based products founded in 1886 and headquartered in Brooklyn Heights, Ohio. The company went public in April 2018 following a spin-off from prior ownership structures. GrafTech operates as one of the world's leading producers of graphite electrodes, which are essential components in electric arc furnace steelmaking, and petroleum needle coke, a critical raw material used in electrode production. The company has faced significant operational and financial challenges in recent years, including the suspension of its major Monterrey facility in 2022 and declining market conditions that have pressured both volumes and pricing.
