Graphite

Graphite is a key raw material for energy storage, electromobility and high-temperature processes. As a conductive, temperature-stable and chemically inert material, it is indispensable for batteries, metallurgy and special applications.

We supply what guides, protects and shapes

Whether as an anode material in lithium-ion batteries, as a lubricant, in electrodes or heat shields - graphite is versatile, powerful and irreplaceable in future technology.

Europe is almost 100 % dependent on imports - we secure the supply of natural and synthetic graphite, tailored to industrial requirements.

Raw materials expertise for the energy transition.

Graphite in figures - 2024

01

Over 95 % of all lithium-ion batteries contain graphite - mostly as anode material, in future also in solid-state systems.

02

The most important producing countries for natural graphite are China, Mozambique, Brazil and Madagascar - for synthetic graphite China, Japan and Europe.

03

Global demand is rising sharply - driven by electromobility, battery factories and new storage technologies.

04

The German Commodities Group supplies natural and synthetic graphite in graded purities, grain sizes and coatings, especially for battery manufacturers and industrial high-temperature processes.

Store energy. Control processes. Deliver with precision.

We supply graphite as powder, flakes, expanded material or refined battery raw material, depending on the specification.

Our customers: Cell producers, battery chemistry, steel and aluminum plants, foundries and special ceramic manufacturers.

We supply the raw material that conducts energy - safely, predictably and with an eye to the future.
