Resonac’s graphite electrodes are produced globally at six locations, and delivered to customers around the world. Our regional presence enables short lead times and reliable supply chains - ensuring that our customers’ needs are met quickly and efficiently.

We believe the world is rapidly moving away from competition between individual companies and toward competition between end-to-end supply chains. In preparation, we are developing strategic partnerships with select customers and suppliers to give us a competitive advantage. These relationships are the pillars of our goal to achieve a profitable, resilient, and sustainable operation.
