Vein graphite, also known as lump graphite, is a very special material with outstanding properties.
Like diamond, graphite is made of pure carbon – and it’s built to tackle the toughest tasks.
In the automotive industry, the focus is firmly on enhancing performance while preserving functionality and safety. Effective thermal concepts rely on graphite – and have an important part to play.

We are the world´s significant vein graphite producer and have been exporting our products to countries all over the world.
For more than 150 years, we are a graphite mining, processing and exporting subsidiary of the global operating company AMG Graphite which guarantees the highest quality based on state-of-the-art processes - from raw materials to customized graphite solutions.
Given its diverse applications in state-of-the-art technologies and limited raw material reserves in just a handful of supplier countries, graphite is one of the world’s most critical raw materials. Natural graphite is in demand like never before! Whether macrocrystalline flake graphite, microcrystalline or amorphous graphite, or high-purity vein graphite – AMG Graphite’s in-house access to raw material sources in Kropfmühl, Sri Lanka and Mozambique as well as various production processes ensure that the company is well positioned to offer natural graphite with a variety of properties, as well as secondary synthetic graphite.
We select suitable dispersion materials from our extensive graphite range based on their intended future use. By manufacturing at our site in Kropfmühl, we are able to produce dispersions flexibly and tailor them to the requirements of our customers. To do this, we first produce powder mixtures, where selected graphites are mixed with functional organic and inorganic dispersing additives on a scale of tons. This serves to make our products more homogeneous and reproducible.
The versatility provided by its crystalline structure is what makes graphite so successful – and so relevant for innovative industries. The GK Group is committed to developing and researching for its product range at the cutting edge, bringing new miracle materials to market for the applications of tomorrow. Expandable and expanded graphite are prime examples of this. As is graphene – the thinnest material on Earth – which combines the hardness of a diamond with the flexibility of an ultra-thin film, offering the most superlatives of any futuristic material.
