The largest supplier to steel mills of graphite electrodes. Steel production is way down as I write this and GTI stock concurrently so. But steel is not going anywhere, and will be back. Steel is one of the most important manufactured materials in the world. The company is well diversified throughout the worlds steel mills. They also sell graphite products to a host of other customers for uses other than electrodes. They are a very old company with a long track record, and I believe do not face a lot of competition. They have improving financials over the last few years including large reduction in long term debt. Recommended by Fools.
