OZARK — SGL Group announced today a $26 million plant expansion at its Ozark facility.

The plant will include high-end graphite workshop and produce graphite electrodes for steel production and arc furnaces. The plant employs more than 90 people, but the expansion will not add any jobs at the plant.

The company produces four types of carbon materials, coarse grain graphite, fine grain graphite, expanded natural graphite and carbon fibers and carbon fiber composites. The materials are used in steel, aluminum and chemical industries and have applications in solar, lithium ion batter and LED industries.

SGL Group employs 6,700 globally and operates 47 facilities directly or with partners. SGL group has 12 operations in North America, 26 in Europe and nine in Asia.
