SGL Carbon SE
SGL Carbon SE makes carbon-based materials and parts that are used in demanding industrial settings. Its core products include graphite electrodes for steelmaking, specialty graphite components for high-temperature manufacturing, and carbon fiber materials used in lightweight composites. The company mainly sells to industrial customers in metals, chemicals, semiconductors, battery-related applications, and aerospace and automotive supply chains. The company earns money by selling these materials and engineered components to manufacturers that need products that can handle heat, corrosion, electrical conductivity, or low weight. Some of its business is tied to large recurring industrial replacement cycles, such as graphite electrodes used in electric steel production, while other parts come from custom-made materials and components for specific production lines or technical applications. What makes SGL Carbon different is that it sits in the middle of the industrial value chain as a specialist materials supplier, not a finished-goods brand. Its products are often hidden inside other companies’ processes and products, so demand depends on factory output and technical requirements rather than consumer spending. That gives the business a niche role built around material science, manufacturing know-how, and long-standing customer relationships.

Sales down: Group sales fell to EUR 184 million from EUR 234 million, mainly because SGL Carbon exited unprofitable carbon fiber activities and saw weaker demand in Graphite Solutions and Process Tech.
Profit held up: EBITDA pre declined only modestly to EUR 29.6 million from EUR 33.5 million, helped by cost control and a still-healthy 16.0% margin.
Guidance reiterated: Management kept full-year guidance unchanged at EUR 720 million to EUR 770 million in sales and EUR 110 million to EUR 130 million in EBITDA pre.
End markets weak: The company described continued softness in semiconductors, automotive and chemicals, with high uncertainty from geopolitics and tariffs limiting customer decisions.
Strategy on track: Management said it is actively renegotiating silicon carbide contracts, expanding in defense, and ramping up the energy project value chain, with a USD 100 million impact expected over three years.
