The growing demand for Graphite in global markets

The demand for graphite on the global market is growing continuously and at an increasingly rapid pace. This is hardly surprising, as the versatile material is used in many booming markets.

Numerous components in the semiconductor industry, for example, such as wafers, electrodes, brackets and clamps are made from graphite. In electromobility, the material is an important component of anodes for battery production as well as brushes and contacts for current collectors. Graphite is often preferred over copper for electrode production in tool and mould making for erosion processes. The carbon type has already proven itself in this field.

Tirupati Graphite PLC (LON:TGR) is a fully integrated specialist graphite and graphene producer, with operations in Madagascar and India. The Company is delivering on this strategy by being fully integrated from mine to graphene. Its global multi-location operations include primary mining and processing in Madagascar, hi-tech graphite processing in India to produce specialty graphite, and a state-of-art graphene and technology R&D center to be established in India.
