PROFILE |
 |
SGL CARBON, one of the world's largest makers of graphite and carbon products, makes electrodes used to melt steel scrap. The company also produces semiconductor graphite, foils, and carbonized fibers. Most of SGL CARBON's sales are from its graphite electrodes; however, carbon has a broad range of applications, and the company has customers in industries ranging from automobiles to chemicals. The US Justice Department has fined SGL CARBON $135 million for allegedly price-fixing graphite electrodes (the EU fined the company about $70 million for the same offense), and a US appeals court has also dismissed the company's Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition as a bad faith effort designed to avoid paying its debts.
