Great Lakes Graphite (GLK-V) Books Large Qualification Order From International Customer

Jan 24, '17 - NR

Great Lakes Graphite announces that the Company has received an order for twenty tons of synthetic graphite from an international customer, located in the Middle East. A series of qualification tests will be performed on the material to confirm suitability for use in the steel industry, which represents a new and growing market opportunity.

Senior Vice-President of Sales Mike Coscia said, "Our international marketing program has developed into a substantial initial order for twenty tons of material. We are confident our product will deliver the performance that is required by this customer, based on engineering a material that meets the exact standards for the application. A positive outcome from these tests will qualify our material for a customer who currently consumes between three to four thousand tons of graphite per year."

Great Lakes Graphite CEO Paul Gorman commented, "We see this development as a validation of our strategy to target a variety of product segments. While our sales and marketing efforts have been focused upon North America, we are receiving a growing number of inquiries and sample requests from prospective customers around the world."
