With the further development of our website, we are focusing on providing you with informative and appealing content. In doing so, we remain true to our values that you know and appreciate about us.

Matthias Schlesies is the new Director Sales & Internationalization at Graphite Materials GmbH.

Graphite is characterized by its exceptional heat resistance. With the ability to withstand temperatures of up to 3,600 °C and only then sublimate, this material enables industrial processes under the most extreme thermal conditions.

Without graphite, many technological masterpieces would not be possible. It plays a key role in one of the most important processes in manufacturing technology – hardening.

Sintering has established itself as a key technology for modern industries. In the field of electromobility, for example, it enables the production of high-strength, lightweight transmission components. In medical technology, it is used to create biocompatible implants with the highest precision. And in the aerospace industry, it is used to manufacture components that can withstand the extreme conditions in space.

Modern industry stands and falls with the quality of its materials. Whether in the aerospace or automotive industries or in medical technology, the mechanical properties of materials play a crucial role in determining their performance. Heat treatment plays a key role here: metals and other materials are optimized through targeted heating and cooling to make them more resilient, durable and efficient. Only the use of state-of-the-art materials such as graphite enables precise, efficient and sustainable heat treatment.

Advanced industrial high-temperature processes are unthinkable without precise temperature control. They would be inefficient, costly and imprecise. Thanks to modern materials such as graphite hard and soft felts, we help our customers realize solutions that ensure high efficiency and process reliability while contributing to sustainability.

Graphite is an indispensable material for many high-tech applications, ranging from batteries and the semiconductor industry to high-temperature processes. While natural graphite has formed over millions of years through geological processes, the industrial production of synthetic graphite enables particularly high purity and tailored material properties.
